Flow - Inspiration #2: Open Source Automation

This may be the billionaire's market (p. 29).

"The optimists claim that through the course of evolution the nervous system has become dept at 'chunking' bits of information so that processing capacity is constantly expanded. Simple functions like adding a column of numbers or driving car grow to be automated, leaving the mind free to deal with more data... Consciousness, the optimists argue, is an "open system"; in effect, it is infinitely expandable, and there is no need to take its limitations into account."
