You can answer that question your self easly enough.  Close your eyes, imagine 
evolution doing what evolution does.  Where will complexity handling systems be 
in 10, 20, 100 years?  The whole notion of sitting down at a computer is 
hopelessly old-school.  The better question really is "what is it that systems 
want?  Any systems.  Humans are a system.  Is it the shovel we are after, or is 
it the ditch, is it water we want or the fruit it grows, is it the fruit or the 
energy we receive, is it the energy or is it the use we put that energy 
towards, what are these uses, what drives us towards them, where is it all 
headed?  Is any of this something that is best embodied in a spread sheet or a 
web page or a slide show?  aren't these notions simply the result of the 
limitations our imaginations place upon the future as a result of historical 
experience?  The real question becomes, what do you want out of life? What does 
life want?  What is life?  What will life be?

Randall,

What do you want to see software do?  Please be succinct.  Give a handful of 
examples of what you envision happening when you sit down at a computer.  Real 
terms.  No philosophy.  I'm not trying to disrespect you here, I just don't 
fully comprehend what your vision is for software, and how that will make the 
computing world (and world) a better place.

Thanks,
Mark
