Liu Yan, Thanks for sharing that article! Fascinating. I like this part:
"To demonstrate the way work really is, Alexander picks up a sheet of paper. 'What would be ideal would be to take this document,' he says, 'and put it here' -- at arm's length, about head high -- 'and have it just stay there. Then there is a cloud of stuff around where I am, at arm's reach. I know where it is, because where my hand left it is where it is.' Stuff that floats! Up in the air! In a cloud!" It's funny that "the cloud" has even become the term that we use!
