Today I witness my “SixtySecond Spin round the sun!” On January 3, 1946 there were less than 40,000 video displays on Earth. Today there are in excess of 5 billion such displays.

At Videography Lab we figure that primal knowledge disappears in inverse proportion to the number of video displays in a selected universe.

Welcome to the world of “clopen”

Considering software as stacks ignores the higher level changes unfolding — the tying of many disparate systems on the open web into integrated offering, the integration of human intelligence into algorithmic computation, the choreography that could occur if only we had good tools for it.

“Looking at features you really don’t address the market space at all.”

As I pointed out, these aren’t features, but at any rate the topic of this post is the future of software, not the future of the software market.
