However, with that being said...in the place of fear, we may find "honest mistakes" and "waste" or incorrectly rendered/formatted products. (And products meaning physical and digital...the same, truly). In essence, I believe we need to approach and begin to explore the ways in which we will deal with extra "junk" creations that were produced in route to a final, complete release. Those eager to enjoy the beauty of what was done as well as those who are eager to "see what it looks like" could cause garages and external drives to start filling up with gook that could be potentially hazardous...without them even knowing it, or intending to have caused or created this or that concocted combination of properties. For these reasons, down the line, we could see the imploding of retail sales on items such as clothing and small electronics/cords/connectors, etc....and with that, people creating imperfect items...those that are slightly off, and thus, in American culture, discarded. To date, the idea of "print that document again, this one has a typo"...has only equalled a few extra sheets of paper used and recycled. In the coming years? Imagine that extra sheet of scratch paper you threw away being a larger, albeit more resource-intensive....item. Should people be viewed as hasty when they do this? Or should we admire their innovation attempt and determination? I feel the latter is important. The kicker is that we make sure that those who are developing and rendering product and code...understand waste and the importance of getting it right...and THEN releasing. Thus...the availability of tools/makers/equipment...and in fact, raw materials...be limited and monitored. Not just anyone can claim a domain and see what happens. Life must progress and code must grow as designed by God from the start. He's got it all under control, aren't we glad, however, to be a part of the grand beta, however? I know I am. Now, where was that scrumshaw pen I was working on? :)

I am certain that the ability to deploy at the speed of development that is on the horizon...will negate any fear.

Check out the Revised Standard Edition, and particularly the "newer" books of Maccabees, Esdras and Sirach. These are also known as the Apocrypha, a collection of books that many Bible translations considered more than necessary for their purposes. They are quite interesting. I've found an incredibly exciting close friend that talks to me verbally...Jesus Christ. Interfaith.org has an incredible collection of the texts online at no charge. Extra information that truly is transformational.

I think quantum computing...in truth, has already made the transition from the lab to well, basically, anywhere (startups included). The human brain.
