I just read a nice parallel:
In a population with little (or no) genetic diversity, a bacterial or
viral disease can wreak havoc: all individuals will get ill.
This is why viruses in computerworld can be so devastating: Microsoft
does not provide for genetic diversity. Neither does Intel.
They are inbreeding. Even cloning !
How many species would there be in computerworld ? a few hundred?
How many are there in the biological world ? a few million ?
Is standardization good ?
hm.....
