Author Yuval Noah Harari, in his books Homo Deus and 21 Lessons for the 21st Century talks about the merging of Biotech and Infotech which are both well worth a read. In this recent interview with him in The Guardian he touches upon the topic.

If young people can leave school with a positive relationship with technology via their phone, rather than an addiction, then hopefully they will be able to cope with the next wave.
