Boxes and Glue

Moore’s Law and Gilder meet Andy Warhol:

Everybody will be world famous for 15/($year - 1979) minutes.

But the copyright of those minutes is gonna live forever. The thought about the ever shrinking standard of fame came watching twitter (a glorified IRC with avatar) making my “speech” the greatest and latest one until the next one arrives in a few seconds... :P

Note en passant the quote from George Gilder (supra, 1996):

Feeding on low power and high bandwidth, the most common computer of the new era will be a digital cellular phone with an IP address.

We are arriving there, still we have no IPv6 and walled^WNATted gardens are the norm in the cellular world.
