Are we forgetting something?

In the future (near, medium, far?) everything will have a pretty complicated
on-board computer of some sort: cars, houses, buildings, roads, people, pets,
etc, etc...

I, myself, am waiting for the expanded Dick Tracy wrist system:
	world-coverage video telephone, organizer, scheduler, library, network
	link, and full-time "companion".  I'd say 15-30 years away.

This full saturation of computers in society will mean, of course, that:

a) everyone will be a "amateur" programmer  and

b) that us "professional" programmers will be *rather* busy no matter if a
significant portion of the computer community abides by the GPL or not.  Of
course we will all be programming in E or C+=34 :-).

back to hacking,
