Daniel Pink's Wired article Revenge Of The Right Brain argues that the Information Age is so 1990s, because it left us with outsourcing and automation of repeatable processes and too much information for us all to deal with.

I'd argue that this phenomenon is exactly why companies like Bose and Apple are thriving when the mainstream CE and PC markets are struggling. Worth a read.
