I love he speaks about micro$oft word and how it 'guesses' what you want to do, in the context of a programmer having a cultural effect on the user.
That's why I'm a fan of open source, well written programs. Because if a machine does something that you don't want it to do, you should be able to make the machine conform to you, you shouldn't have to conform to the machine.
Politically, that idea is what the US was originally designed around. Is the US still open source?

whats with the creepy intro?
What an interesting man. He's like a nerdy, hippy, guru, artistic type. Usually minds like these were glasses and bow ites. I'd love to have an indepth conversation with this guy.
