        Explain please?
        OK let's dum this down a shade, the current gap between rich and poor we'll denote as n.

        I'm saying it will be 10 times greater in the future, 10n

        As for defining the gap, it could be ££'s, education, assets and so on who knows..

            I thought this was an IT forum? i.e. it's our duty to overcomplicate the simple?

              Only when talking to the users. Not when we are talking to each other.

                    Why does it feel like we just came out of the last IT spending recession? It can't be more than 3 or 4 years ago since the end of the last one.

                    Batten down the hatches.
