One issue with the instance development in Squeak is that it is quite
fragile. It is easy to pull the building blocks apart and it all falls down
like a house of cards.
It's currently hard to work on different parts and individually version
them independent of the rest of the system. All parts
So what will computing be in a hundred years?
Will we still painstakingly construct systems with a keyboard interface one
letter at a time ?
And what systems will we use ? And for what ?
Will we use computers for slashing virtual fruits and post images of our
breakfast on Facebook version 1000,2
