Finally found time to read it, thanks.
The reason I’m starting to think the Old World is ultimately doomed is because we are bracketed on both sides by the New World, and those people being born today, post-iPhone and post-iPad, will never know (and probably not care) about how things used to work. Just as nobody today cares about floppies, and nobody has to care about manual transmissions if they don’t want to.
He's a little fanboi-ish and underestimates how similar Google's plans are. However it's a good clear explanation of a trend highlighted by reaction to the iPad.

Oh, it gets better - there are pros and cons, but the govt is re-opening the debate about providing choice of mainstream or segregated education for disabled children. You may recall parents winning a court case against the previous government for removing that choice. Now this one is going down the same route.
