It's hard to imagine taking people who are quite late in their careers and have never been involved in technology and switching them to become computer engineers, but we're headed for an environment in which people, no matter where they find their careers, should go through the school system and get some training in the fundamentals of technology. In other words, we have to prepare our citizens of the future to be multi-faceted. That's actually the kind of skill that will succeed the most in tomorrow's economy; it will also position them better as the shifts take place.
