Interesting post on Read/Write web about how the information economy is making certain employees in business very hard (and expensive) to replace.

But still, it is now becoming more costly for the companies. Because of the increasing amount of information processing done by individuals and the uniqueness of each, getting replacements up to speed is more costly. Retaining and motivating the digital elite should be recognized as a high priority for any company.

Are YOU Replaceable? 

 

I'm not sure I agree with the digital elite moniker but it's a good read. Another unintended consequence of the information technology revolution?
