I have problems with terms like the 'information highway.' As an outsider it seems to me that despite the outstanding technological advances, the content, that is the message of the medium, often remains banal. What do you expect from a global network like the Internet?

What I want from the Internet is information you can't find in books. The Web represents the socio-collective knowledge on computer technology much better than books ever could, because books would have to have thirty volumes to describe something in depth. Today electronic elements lead a double life, once in tangible form as silicon and again as a logical abstraction, as a computer description of itself with all the relevant data, not only as a diagram on the wall, but also as a simulation. You can click on the circuit X and simulate its behavior in a real computer. New computers are designed today based on modules, which are stored in the computer's memory. You can run the computer, which you want to later build, as a simulation.

A virtual computer?

Exactly. There's no other way to do it. At the moment there are five million transistors in a computer's hard drive, and that means you can make five million mistakes to the tenth degree.
