 of the rest of the world,
already reeling under economic downturns, will get hit hard, since they are not
 in a situation
now to hire all the hightech programers and the like to fix their
entire computer systems."

        It just occurred to me that most if not all of the problem, if there is
 one, will be in the advanced countries or advanced sectors of less developed
 countries.  No one in Chiapas or any other pre-industrial  culture will know
 the difference.
