Why The Digital Revolution Has Not Yet Fulfilled Its Promises

Via Business Insider: Why The Digital Revolution Has Not Yet Fulfilled Its Promises - Business Insider.

Do you agree with these points?
  • "...the digital economy, far from pushing up wages across the board in response to higher productivity, is keeping them flat for the mass of workers while extravagantly rewarding the most talented ones."
  • "The world has more than enough labour...That meant firms were able to keep workers' pay low. And low pay has had a surprising knock-on effect: when labour is cheap and plentiful, there seems little point in investing in labour-saving (and productivity-enhancing) technologies."
  • "...excess labour was relatively easily reallocated to new sectors, thanks in large part to investment in education. That is becoming more difficult."
  • "Most rich economies have made a poor job of finding lucrative jobs for workers displaced by technology, and the resulting glut of cheap, underemployed labour has given firms little incentive to make productivity-boosting investments."
