One of the first CS courses I ever had was one of the profs explaining that according to the definition a rock is also a computer so thankfully im immune to smashing stuff after reading this. (This was also the era before we called programs 'apps', which does almost cause me to smash things).

Also, that isn't what the words 'computing paradigm' means. If all those concepts etc carry over, they are still turing machine bound general purpose computing machines.

That makes me wonder, one of these days somebody should write an article on how the dotcom era has lead to fetishization of 'radical innovations' over just incremental ones.
