Hmm.  I think "The Mind" will still be present at universities, and it will be 
mocking "The Hive" while being relatively uninvolved.   I don't object to the 
stumbling but I do object to driving the time window of performance down toward 
zero and toward an audience that has an unsophisticated way of judging things.  
 "Did you make a pretty web page?   Yes or no?"   In contrast a lab (or a 
computer enthusiast group) develops a more complex and nuanced gestalt.  It's a 
question of what kind of people are driving the field forward.   I think the 
field is much richer now, but is in the hands of a less diverse and less 
engaged class of drivers.   Maybe that is just "Get off my lawn!" or endless 
Gore Vidal type whining.  I don't know.

I share your worry.  But when I hear myself say it, it sounds like "Get off my 
lawn!"  Perhaps evolution is (will be) faster with more stumbling around in 
public?  The mind is dead.  Long live the hive.
