More on the above - while technology has done a great job of making "low value" jobs irrelevant, business and government leaders have done a piss poor job of training both the displaced as well as the future employees with the skill set required to compete. At no other time has it been possible for two guys in a garage to start a billion dollar empire in next to no time through app development, but so many people are not properly situated to take advantage of this new reality.
I know personal responsibility is huge (trust me, I busted my ass to get through Georgia Tech as a CompE to prepare myself), but i think we need more businesses getting involved. Although they are probably happier paying less money to H-1B visa employees rather than US employees.
