Today's analog of Bell Labs and Xerox PARC labs? Remember that back in the time of PARC, to do that kind of research, you needed a computer the size of a small house. With utility computing we've dropped the cost to less than one server and based on usage. Remember as well that PARC was essentially just a few people: Starkweather (laser printer), Metcalfe (ethernet) and Kay (PC, GUI, Smalltalk, etc). So doing the math, it seems that today's analog of PARC is a single woman in Senegal or a couple of guys in Poland. It could be anywhere, and that's pretty exciting!
