I think part of the discussion needs to ALSO be what is good and bad technology. In addition to jobs being moved out of the country, jobs are also being replaced with new technology (easier for big corporations to replace workers with new technology and ultimately the cost is cheaper). I for one think long and hard before I "embrace" new technology as to how will this REALLY impact me (for good or bad) as well as who will be affected if I use this technology. With ours being a technology based economy, we need to ALSO ask where will sustainable jobs for the MASSES come from...
Read the book, "Feed," and you will get an idea of the nefarious way that technology robs us of our humanity. ("Feed" refers to a wireless implant in the brain.)
Technology is nuetral. People are usually bad, sometimes good, and often misguided.
I like the cut of your jib, sir
