The Missing Foundation

The foundations of digital life are unsound. Not in the trivial sense that software has bugs, or that interfaces are ugly, or that corporations are greedy — though all of these are true. They are unsound in the structural sense: the fundamental abstractions upon which everything is built were never designed to work together, were never designed to serve the person using them, and have not been seriously re-examined since the 1970s.
