What is amazing to me is that the "invention" of the computer used the already established norms of our physical reality as it's guide. From the second image description:

"once windows are created they overlap on the screen like sheets of paper"

As we turn computers into android robots, its clear that the credit never belong to man himself. The Wonderful idea was already known by God, who gave man the sense to emulate a good thing.

But overlapping window managers are hardly the best and only solution. I prefer tiling window managers. Did god invent tiling as well?

The finder is proof that there is no god.
