We invest a lot of code in GUI, which makes me think of: I'm afraid the holodeck will be society's last invention. - Scott Adams And this ultimate GUI would require the ultimate coding effort.

The Apollo 11 UI module, code named DSKY/PINBALL, was meant as a demonstration unit and never meant to be the actual operating interface for the mission. "As time passed, and more and more people became familiar with the demo, nobody got around to inventing an improvement for the user interface, so the coders simply built it into the flight software without any specific requirements to do so" The future will always be duct tape and bubble gum. http://www.ibiblio.org/apollo/ForDummies.html http://www.ibiblio.org/apollo/ForDummies.html
