Dave:
 
Having had alot of involvement with Steve Roach over the years as well as with the NYTimes editorial policy (therefore, Krugman), there are some fascinating political agendas floating around that converge on one common theme --  since we wish to claim that bad times are coming, we have to claim that technology doesn't matter and doesn't drive economic growth.
 
Now that I'm back in the thick-of-it as a Wall Street tech analyst, this agenda-driven anti-technology bias (also coming from the Wall Street Journal, btw) is, well, demonstrably foolish and completely at odds with reality.
 
Politics is a weird prism through which the facts inevitably get wildly distorted.  As a group of "politicized" technologists, IP is an interesting place to keep up with this wildness!
 
Best,
