121: The Vivek Kundra "Hollow" Deck

Human Computer Interface, Skip Logic and COBOL Buzzwords

Vivek Kundra predicts a shift in the human-computer interface, moving away from "binary or COBOL ways" of interaction toward more intuitive systems like a Star Trek holodeck. He uses technical terms such as "skip logic" and "bandwidth constraints" to describe software architecture. Critics mock the use of these terms, noting that skip logic is a basic telemarketing survey tool rather than a revolutionary computing concept.
