Like other developing nations I think this is what happen when society doesn't take technology seriously. When the majority of jobs are not tech related or very low level tech, people sentiment tend to reduce the impact of what it can do. They don't consider them as "real jobs". But once that the employers shift, is when it hits people's reality.
I hope more people can anticipate this and become competitive on the tech space so they can anticipate this shift.
The shift requires investment in infrastructure and training people. If I want to examine it under the PH scene, why would investors want their money parked here when they can put it in some other country with a better potential for growth and already set with their infrastructure. The only quick fix (in years) I see is training AI competent graduates than infrastructure.
Talent, most infrastructure is internet based not physically based. Unless you are talking about connectivity and fiber optics. But the rest is up to the people to build, code and sell. Most of the information and tools are freely available online.
And you can't force to train anybody, which is my point. If people don't truly believe that knowing coding or crypto or AI is the future, they won't compete.
Unfortunately most people copy what they see, and most people see YouTube influencers, Instagram models and food delivery more than successful coders, crypto investors or AI entrepreneurs.
But even on a wider scope, most people don't think engineering is a worthwhile career. Maybe because of their old school parents or just because they are scared of math. But there is a prevalent sense of difficulty when jumping into coding.
