  I was reading Paul's blog, and a statement by Alan Kay that he had posted really stood out to me.I had to find more about Alan Kay and find the quote.Here is the quote:
  
  Don't worry about what anybody else is going to do… The best way to predict the future is to invent it.Really smart people with reasonable funding can do just about anything that doesn't violate too many of Newton's Laws!
  
  I got this quote from http://www.smalltalk.org/alankay.html . I guess Alan Kay was the inventor of SmallTalk, the Graphical User Interface that inspired the MacIntosh and all the other great GUI based operating systems.

  Alan Kay's was one of the engineers who developed technology popularized on Apple Computer Inc's Macintosh.He also was one of the elite team at Xerox Corp's famous Palo Alto Research Center, where he once quipped, "The best way to predict the future is to invent it."
  
  Kay will leave Disney in September and his team of six programmers took advantage this month of voluntary severance packages, part of the firm's move to cut 4,000 jobs by this summer, Clare Thomas, a spokeswoman for Glendale, California-based Walt Disney Imagineering said.
  ...
  "Alan just decided that the time was right to pursue his research in a different type of environment," Thomas said.
  ...
  Imagineering houses Disney's research and development, where Kay works.
  ...
  Kay joined Disney to develop the use of Squeak, a compact, easy to use programming language good for education, for collaborative gaming and in small devices that work best on less-resource-hungry software platforms.
  
  Kay will probably continue to work on Squeak, an open source language which no company or person controls, Thomas said.

  Alan Kay
  
  Since inventing much of the technology behind personal computing in the late 1960s, Alan Kay has dedicated his work to developing better learning environments for children. Now a senior researcher at HP and the president of Viewpoints Research Institute, Kay is launching Squeak, a multimedia authoring tool that allows children to construct dynamic simulations of real-world phenomena.
  ...
  A: Well, that's why I invented the idea of the Dynabook [Kay's 1968 prototype for a wirelessly networked, multimedia laptop]. That's the whole point of that concept.
