Most IT geeks don't have the personal skills required to rule the world outside of their computer. I would however expect that more "world rulers" will start gaining IT skills in order to have more power and be able to do more things.
I completely agree with this, IT skills are nothing without personal skills to go alongside them. For example making the next major virtual currency is one thing, and getting people to use it is another. You need to be persuasive and social as well.
