The polarisation of our society continues unabashed. The elite race into the distance, taking their technology and advantages with them. The rest are left to fend for themselves. This usually means finding a niche in this new marketplace for their skills. These tend to be of low value, and so exacerbate their plight.
Education is at the heart of everyone's opportunity.
However, society pays little attention to this. Government spending on state prisons now exceeds that on education. Here in the UK, BT has plans to connect each and every school to the Internet. This is simply not enough. The basic infrastructure is fine, but training and further resources are needed to make the most of this initiative.
