Software is Eating the World

And what world is it eating? The Industrial World, that peaked out in the 19th Century. Software was invented, as the brains of the Computer, in the second half of the 20th Century. But is maturing explosively in the 21st Century.

When I say it is exploding, I am not exaggerating. Take a peak at the Wikipedia entry for VMware, Companies like this are getting huge, in a mediocre economy. And they are not hiding their talents, but keep some of their most talented people, busy explaining what the are doing. And making sure everyone knows about these expensive explanations.

This is a revolution, but a revolution most of the people know nothing about - and don't want to know. They would like to get some of this money for themselves - but they don't want to change enough to get it. They are stuck, but can't understand what has stuck them.

They can't understand. that a new world is dawning - and an old world is dying.
