We live in a world that is changing rapidly, because of the computer - and where most people are unaware of this.
They are not only unaware, but they also intend to remain this way. And consider the Computer an unnecessary intruder into their lives.
I worked in the computer industry from 1980-2000, as a Technical Writer, and got to see the shenanigans there.
I did not get to make a transition to a Java programmer, or I would still be there, making lots of money, I moved to Costa Rica instead, where I sm living on my Social Security retirement - and drinking their excellent coffee.
The Computer industry has evolved from hundreds of companies to just four: Apple, Amazon. Google. and Microsoft, who are making obscene amounts of money.
Costa Rica could be making this money also, by writing apps in Spanish. But so far they have not done this. The gap between North America and Latin America will continue to widen.
Their Computer people will head for the US, and will not come back.
