MOBE2001's Journal: Jeff Han and the Future of Parallel Programming

Forget computer languages and keyboards. I have seen the future of computer programming and this is it. The computer industry is on the verge of a new revolution. The old algorithmic software model has reached the end of its usefulness and is about to be replaced; kicking and screaming, if need be. Programming is going parallel and Jeff Han's multi-touch screen interface technology is going to help make it happen. The more I think about it, the more I am convinced that Han's technology is the perfect interface for the COSA programming model. COSA is about plug-compatible objects connected to other plug-compatible objects. Just drag 'em and drop 'em. What better way is there to compose, manipulate and move objects around than Han's touch screen interface?
