I'm torn between calling that or agriculture the Singularity. One let there be enough people to have interesting thoughts and the other allowed collaboration between people who could never meet. -- http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/ http://www.livejournal.com/users/james_nicoll |

I was at a talk by Venor Vinge on this where he was discussing his thesis that the point of the Singularity is you couldn't articulate it to anybody from before it happened. I think you could with architecture, but you'd struggle with somebody or "something" that couldn't speak. Dave |
