its more than just time. the sad part about this evoluation is that younger people are enculturated to believe that the foundations that they are standing on represent some sort of inviolate physics and not just some technical decision someone made 20 years ago. i think whats required to move forward isn't just some dusty studying of these physics, but a reawakening to an understanding that these are just systems with tradeoffs, and we can choose to make other systems just as easily. thats the only way the sandpile collapses and we get .. for example .. secure operating systems and network protocols. or systems that were designed to exploit the massive amount of concurrency available in modern machines.
