formation to the computer, tell it to design the most efficient
highway from here to there, push the start button, and go out
to lunch. On his return he would find the design completed,
the numerical data printed out, and the construction plans
automatically drafted (Figure 8). This may seem visionary, but
it represents less of a revolution than has already taken place
in the last decade.
