Like mine, Edington’s argument is a conjecture, but one which I believe is correct.

In ending this chapter we will return to where we began—to Cory Doctorow who says, “I have no predictions for what the future holds. But I have hopes and I have fears, and they’re both anchored by the same observation: that computers and networks make it easier for us to work as groups. That sounds trivial, I know, but working effectively in groups is the oldest dream our species has.” He goes on, “Working with others makes us superhuman. . . . I mean this literally. . . . Computers and networks have come closer to solving the coordination problem than nearly any technology before them. They outperform the chalkboard, the org chart, the telephone—everything I can think of except for language, the original coordinating technology.”[21]
