In the 1st world, technology enables production efficency to increase, turnover will increase, prices will fall as the world becomes flooded with these products, the third world will be roped into it because of the even lower living costs (a malnorished african will live on 50p, 1$ a day)
Corporations get richer, giving most to the higher order of their ranks, making lower staff redundant, because their call centre has moved to India, the speed of PBX and PSTNs mean that Judith in her 3 bed semi in Slough doesn't know she is speaking to Himali (aka Sarah) in Deli.
Car plants become almost entirely automated, requiring only a couple of guys to wander around ever half an hour inbetween reading the Sun newspaper.
Builders, Plumbers, general skilled labourers salaries will sky rocket (x2 x3 x4 that of a White collar worker) because so many have jumped on the IT band wagon with promises of Riches, and there is a desperate shortage of skilled labour.
People start jumping on a fast moving train called '.COM'
The IT industry will straighten itself out, it moves to fast for fly boys and lazy types to hang around and develop a Status Quo in their environment (they will be exposed as get rich oportunist, that will backrupt themselves, and end up asking for change outside Waterloo)
What does this leave us with?
More PR, Marketing, sales, Media, Spin, Politians with 70 Spin Doctors and 4 Jaguar Cars, Pop Star Wannabes as the youth today have it to easy, its either Drugs and Fame or Working hard to make a living, to be comfortable safe in the knowledge that you are OK, the state and all associated with it is robbing you blind but you don't care, you can comfortably get by, not having to worry about how the poor types live.
Nah, they'll pick the drugs
Yes you can make a differece, go off and be a missionary, god knows we need more people like that.
But real change comes from above, the Fat cats in their Gentlemens clubs, Footballers earning x70 the national average salary, Mummies little baby dashing around London living such an oh so fabulous Bohiemian life style getting free drinks and borrowing that Gucci handbag, whilst the rest of us wait out in the rain to pay £6 or 10$ for a Budweiser after paying enough to get in to buy a new television from Dixons off of a disgruntled miserable student that would rather be sat in a bus stop getting high.
Illegal Aliens invading 1st world countries because all they see from the out side is riches and state sponsored bliss (US included)
Dustmen earning more than Firemen, Nurses working x2 as long as an IT techie and getting paid less, IT Techies being infinatly more intelligent, resourceful, generally better than the Univ Educated Business graduate that got the job above him coz his dad knows the director.
Any of this sound familiar?
Im not predjudice in any way, just needed to get this out before i went mad.
Just my little Rant
