Welcome to the ignorance economy!

The new economy has brought us face to face with so much of advanced technology, often ahead of the rest of the world, leapfrogging several stages because we are lucky to be latecomers on the scene - and one unintended consequence of this, utterly ignored or paid insufficient attention, is the need to bring the rest of society up to speed. All systems and devices ( from the internet to the motor car to the mobile phone) can work only as well as the knowledge level of the people who install and run or maintain them.

At any rate, the usage condition and knowledge level of the users too are far from ideal. In this combination of half-baked service and semi skilled users, the ignorance economy is floundering.
