But we'll stay on top, as that's where the complexity is. And if we reach the level of complexity and even "beat it", we'll have invited something new and even more complex to strive for in the process. <br /><br />That's evolution indeed...Martijn Linssenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00573419401627232560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6081361780079434787.post-83490742339034473192010-02-09T20:55:39.797+01:002010-02-09T20:55:39.797+01:00That's probably down to evolution.

I can probably quote Monty Python here: <br /><br />Brian: You are all different!<br />Mob: YES! WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT<br />one man: I'm not.<br /><br />It will take a while before we feel comfortable selecting different groups for different topics, but we'll get there. After all: buying books didn't jump from 1 to 500 per person overnight. <br />But one of the big hurdles will be: how do we process all that information without being selective? Do we want to trust a machine to do that for us? Very 1984 (in the Orwellian meaning). Or do we still want to rely on our gut feeling?Henk van Zuilekomnoreply@blogger.com
