Because the government got involved & mandated it to be so, regardless of
location or socioeconomic status. He also mentions the imminent problem of
job loss in case we don't catch up. I'm not so sure that's completely
related as we're already losing many IT-related jobs overseas as it is. We
also have far less companies allowing their employees to telecommute.
