could be said about the "evolution" of computer operating systems?
What say, Philo, or anyone else?

Hi Charlotte,
Thanks for joining the discussion.
You've got to dig around this thread a bit, but a few things have already been said about the evolution connection--especially in the acknowledgement of a kind of radical discontinuity from the human to Christic levels.
But, yes, I agree with your basic insight: namely, that OS upgrades are kind of like stages of evolution, where a higher level of complexity and consciousness incorporates a lower. Same goes for the software that runs on the various versions of OS, as for the types of creatures that are possible for each stage of evolution. There's only so much intelligence that can be developed from that crustacean nervous system structure. . . and only some pretty basic software that could run on DOS 1.0 or Mac OS 6.0.
Pax,
Philoman
