I think it will hit harder than when PCs starting gaining ground; this is just due to the rate at which technology is advancing, things are starting to interconnect more and more as the Internet of Things (IoT) progresses as well. Once we hit that critical mass of wide spread technology along with the band width to support this, change will be rapid.

An interesting statement ” the price of capital, not the price of labour, will determine the location of production as technology gets better. Places where capital markets are more developed thus have a great advantage over places where capital markets are thin” from the report “ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE The Road Ahead in Low and Middle-Income Countries” found at http://webfoundation.org/docs/2017/07/AI_Report_WF.pdf

I think what will be interesting to observe is whether history will repeat itself: will the situation be like when computers, esp personal computers, started gaining ground?
