Oh, I agree, we knew that. There are very, very few discontinuous
intellectual leaps in our part of the universe. It's hard to name one
that
happened in the past decade or two.
Can we name any discontinuous intellectual leaps of late in computer
networking? Now that I think about it, forget "of late", have there EVER
been any?
Turing machine? (Computers, but not Networking)
The original Ethernet? (not really "discontinuous", but quite a big leap)
