A friend pointed out, "some of the reasoning is faulty, and I'm sure you'd agree, and maybe you noticed it already. The stuff about 'half of what a student learns will be out of date in 3 years' is not *remotely* correct. Algebra or literary criticism or European history never go out of date (maybe half of what a *CS* student learns goes out of date...)"
And yes, I agree completely. It's a little dramatic. I think people still don't grasp the weight that China and India have/will have in the world... in not necessarily a bad way. I just think we Americans are too often full of ourselves.
