More fundamentally, Barton Biggs powers of observation seem
to be singularly lacking. The last few years have seen the
emergence of Internet as a powerful new mode for the distribution
of goods and services. May be mature gentlemen of a certain age
such as Barton do not use Intenet much, but most persons I
know use it to buy books, shop for cars, and for their
investments (what are we doing here otherwise?). This means
that our coountry is undergoing a huge shift in resources
from old distribution mechanisms (old style car salemen will
soon be an endegered species, thank god) towards high tech.
All sorts of persons who never used to buy computers will
now buy new computers and new softwae every 2 or 3 years,
not speaking of spending more money with ISPs, telcos, etc.
Within this big picture, it is easy to understand why the share
of high-tech in the global economy will double within the next
10 years.

Old fashioned high-tech bears such as Barton Biggs keep
viewing high-tech as a bunch of devices used by companies
to increase employee productivity. This is the 70s or 80s
view. They should stop, and see that the landscape around them
has changed.
