       | Bret Victor is a real visionary in the field, and everyone should
       | check out his website worrydream.com, for his interesting
       | presentations on interactive programming.

       | Saying that, I can't see how this dynamicland is going to work
       | practically. The requirement first for a shared physical space,
       | in the age of remote working. Secondly the need for programs to
       | fit on a table, which his simple examples even seem to barely do.
       | In a meeting you'd have to be constantly arranging things on the
       | table, putting things away as you move on to the next example,
       | remembering how to arrange the next deck etc.. personally if I do
       | a presentation, I want all the slides on the cloud in case of any
       | issues, not to be carrying round a set of cards in a binder..
       | 
       | I would think the more likely next step in combatting complexity,
       | would be personalised AIs. These would understand the context of
       | the presentation being given, and therefore can provide us remote
       | audience members with explanations and visualisations on demand,
       | that would suit our level of understanding of the problem.
