Software is a funny thing. I'm old enough to remember when everything was locked down and proprietary, of economic necessity. Nowadays it's almost entirely the opposite, for the same reason.

We're definitely well into the Singularity, but because our time perception is keeping up with it, it doesn't *seem* like things are moving as fast as they really are. But whenever I stop to really appreciate what's possible with software now, most of it was nearly or totally inconceivable back in the 90s.

Fully expecting to be gunned down by a Boston Dynamics T-800 any day now.
