[antiSingularity]

>I know, we hear much talk about transformation -- about the coming Great Singularity, the Omega Point, the emergence of a new global consciousness.

I have an alternative theory, something like an Anti-Singularity. Or maybe the Peter Principle of engineering development - every piece of software and hardware will be developed one stage beyond what is possible to debug or make reliable. Thus, we will end our technological days desperately trying to make disparate and barely-functional systems do something useful.

For evidence of this theory, be a sysadmin.
