I grew up with those AT&T commercials where they would talk about all these cool technological advances they were cooking up, and how one day they would grace us with them. They never did, of course, but they sure fired my imagination as a young person. And I think that’s what they were designed to do: act as a symbol of hope, hope for the future bringing us close together through technology. And I think this is just what Intel is doing with this big lecture they gave on “programmable matter” - which isn’t quite a new idea, but it’s a bold statement by a company whose basic unit of exchange is the possibilities of the imagination, a statement which says, “Someday you’ll be able to do anything you can dream of, thanks to our technology.” Even if that type of promise never comes true, it puts Intel into a light where they capture the attention of a lot of dreamers, of a lot of people who like to sit around and wonder what if, innovators.
