(Java increases the "communication bandwidth" between people. And I thought that the results of the communications revolution might not be simply a huge number of bits being passed around. We think we can see where the real innovation is taking place, because the exchanges between people become more convenient—individuals and individuals, individuals and groups, groups and groups, even between planets. Some people predict that the next big revolution will happen because enough people and enough interconnections are formed, and this innovation will happen on the basis of the whole world. Java may or may not have been the immediate driver of that revolution, but I at least feel like I'm doing some meaningful office work here - testing teaches us a major language!
