I once humorously told someone that technology is advancing so rapidly that we might get to a point where there will be more techs than professionals to use them. Well, I think that many professional should be trained to match the waves of technological advancement.
Nice piece buddy

I do agree with that technology is advancing at a rate that we would get more technologies than actual tech specialists.
This creates a problem I think for universities and for companies.
As stated in the article, universities take longer to adapt to new technologies versus businesses and industries. For industries, I do agree that the ideal thing is to have professionals being trained to match the waves of technological advancement. The thing I worry about is if companies are willing to spend time and resources to train people. So many job postings (in Toronto area at least) have crazy wish lists that want a ready to go candidate and don't have time to train supposedly.
That is a great detail, I see it very difficult for companies to invest in training, surely they are going to wait for people to train on their own and then take advantage of what the worker can contribute.
It is quite likely that soon there will be more technicians than professionals. I think so too.
