There is so much misguided here, it is hard to shake a stick at it all.
The one thing he is right about is that there actually are companies trying to develop technologies he describes.
The political and economic problems surrounding deploying those technologies in the world of the future, and problems with his whole model of employment trends, predicated on this accelerated rate of good nimble change in human society, is not only not realistic or practical for the vast majority of the world's denizens, or for human beings as they are, but frankly a nightmare utopia of lifelong Sisyphean learning and gnawing instability even for the few who are well placed to try to accomplish something like it in their so called careers.
It is the great continuing Randian fairytale of Western individualistic entrepreneurship as the source of all value in the world, now spread globally to the formerly heathen masses, who have ostensibly now been converted to Western entrepreneurial reason.
The fairytale has been exploded, but few here know what happened, they just know they are not wealthy, not happy, and don't know why.
The fairytale has been exploded in such books as From Predators to Icons, things like that, but very few here read such things anyway.
I keep meaning to talk about the idea of progress, and Friedman's views show the crying need for such a discussion.
