"We have a serious problem, a very, very serious problem and its related to how we recruit, hire, train, and retain employees for many modern and critical roles. Based on anecdotal evidence I believe we are rapidly approaching a point where 15-30 percent of our work force could be “worked†out of a job in any given eight to ten-year period.
That would mean up to 45 million Americans looking for replacement roles in any ten-year span. Yes, my numbers were developed anecdotally from previous experience in combination with information from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. As an example in 2002 there were roughly 15 million manufacturing roles. When you combine that with operations oriented IT or service oriented roles you can quickly come up to 45 million affected positions."

I don't see the problem here.
I studied IT in high school, and one thing my teacher told me was "In IT especially, you can never stop studying, you can never stop learning, you can never stop getting certifications". Windows replaces its client operating systems every three years starting with Vista and its server operating systems whenever it wants. Mac OS X gets an upgrade every six months. And with each upgrade comes new features.
That's just the software part of it. Five years ago, SSDs were not a very common thing. Now, laptop companies (most famously Apple) are starting to put them stock inside their computers. Now we have the mobile space, tablets, virtual clients, virtual servers, the cloud, the list goes on and on.
You get left behind, you die. That's just how it goes. It's the same thing with the Fastlane: you always keep learning and you can never stop because there's always some new lesson to be learned.
It's simply how the marketplace works. Why are people complaining?
