I'm pretty sure he's wrong here. We are moving towards a dystopia where jobs have to be created out of thin air, and it's been occurring for the last decade as we move toward a Brazil-like state of being. Take the financial industry, first there was the business side and compliance, but who watches compliance? Now we have internal audit watching compliance, risk management, regulatory management, business supervision, financial risk, etc. etc. Watchers watching watchers watching watchers. As the governments pass more and more regulations, this will only get worse. And the people in their positions, afraid of losing their jobs, will blind themselves to how futile and meaningless their existence really is.
Also, governments use social networks for control. He's got to be blind to think social networks are liberating.
