Remi mentioned using Internet as an artificial ecosystem for artificial life
forms. From a business point of view, the life forms are business objects,
i.e. bank accounts, stock portfolios, etc. The Internet ecosystem is still too
primitive, but with an object bus, like CORBA, these living objects will
have a place to live in. This CORBA thing is really thrilling. It will be the
next level of global human-machine-hybrid intelligence.
