Today Steve Jobs presented the iPad.
Like a laptop but better!
In a nutshell, that is how technology evolves. Prof. Arthur, believes that every single invention ever made was added to an environment, where new inventions were born, sometimes by little changes of the people involved. In this case Mr. Jobs.
Matter did not always evolve like this. Organic matter was the first to get into this purposeful motion, maybe lead by entropic forces as Verlinde said at the end of last year. Then humans appeared and purpose made technological evolution possible. Matter then did not arrange itself randomly, it did to serve human purposes. Purpose is emergent.
The market will tell us if Mr. Jobs is right. If he becomes richer than Bill Gates, then yes: The iPad is like a laptop, but better!
