Come to wonder when I try to see the places on where this can be applied in my particular working field. If I check my everyday working flow, it seems like I'm constrained to all the scenarios that he mention, and I'm aware of how limiting it can be for what the technology and multiple cores... I'm talking about working on files, not interacting visually with the computer, not letting the computer figure out the stuff... not working parallely

and then I notice...

how I deliver software to a distributed environment of virtual machines some running on the same cpu, some boxes with their own one and realize that maybe the everyday cpu that you buy for your everyday box, is that small cpu on the cpu grid he shows.... network between the cpus are the lines that connects them.... and notice that I don't remember when it was the last time that I wrote the last tcp stack for connecting those machines.... so they somehow are figuring they out on they own how to talk to each other (notice how this is different from having a goal and try to achieve it) I still think we are way far from this happening (probably luckily for us)...

so: what if all he mentions here does somehow exist but it requires to shift the way you see stuff?
