Well, here is something Allen has not discussed before. Will WIND's new GUI lead embedded systems developers down the path of "bricolage"?

This idea of bricolage--roughly defined as tinkering--has recently taken on new meaning, Turkle maintains. Because the graphical-user interface (embodied by the Macintosh and Windows operating systems) has become the dominant paradigm, most computers users, male and female alike, use bricolage: they cannot see the engine under the hood of the car. "Everything is on the surface. You don't read the rule book; you do it by tinkering," Turkle explains. "The danger is that this sort of bricolage becomes a model for all understanding."
