I don't know if I can agree to that. I agree it's a major accomplishment
in human history. Will it be a out done in 10 years - most likely not, in
100 years - maybe, in 1,000 years - absolutly.
I have difficulty accepting the internet is the end all and be all in
computing architecture and technology. If we manage to avoid being
targeted by any of the nuclear bombs we have collectively build for the
military-industrial complex, then I think there's hope the human race can
bypass itself and accomplish more.
Oracles CEO is a man who has found religion in the net, and we need more
like him. But until the fat lady sings, I am confident the show will
continue - bigger and better then ever.
