Hmm, I wonder if there is any connection between teenage boys playing video games, and falling male enrollment in college? I just read an article stating that research shows males are enrolling and graduating from college at lower rates than women, who now make up the majority of students on almost every campus in the country (USA) -- in some cases by more than 60 percent. Looks like there will be an ample supply of ditch diggers and burger flippers in the near future. Since (rightly or wrongly) most high-tech jobs require a college education, either the women take up the slack, or more H1B imports are required, or the jobs themselves get exported. The trend I'm seeing right now is that the (software development) jobs are being exported.

Google's PigeonRanking is going to be totally screwed when the bird flu gets here.
