John, you may wish to begin with these links on complexity. Complex is quite different from complicated, as used here, and defined by the professional knowledge management community:

As Rob Paterson noted:

It’s a simple message, really. But if you don’t get it, you’re headed for chaos.
Simple = easily knowable.
Complicated = not simple, but still knowable.
Complex = not fully knowable, but reasonably predictable.
Chaotic = neither knowable nor predictable.

I used shed, as in shedding off the older forms of work. I'm not saying this is all for the good, but it is similar to the transition that occurred a hundred years ago as farm workers moved to the cities and factories. May I suggest http://nineshift.com/ for further reading.

By the way, I bother to write this stuff as my way of sense-making:

Why did you bother to write this comment? I hope it was for clarification and learning.
