One hopes that our nation will meet the 'digital challenge', but rather like outsourcing and the people it left behind, often in manual labour/lower skill work areas, not everyone is going to be getting that high-paying tech-related job of the future.  The mantra used to be that it's sad that a whole bunch of jobs have been outsourced, but now we'll be a nation of knowledge managers!  

Not everyone wants to be or is inclined to be a 'knowledge manager' or work in a tech driven job either.  So yeah, a lot of people are going to be left high and dry.  I doubt 'coding' in grade school will change that.  I hope we'll weather it.
