The Power of Abstraction

Abstraction is at the center of much work in Computer Science. It encompasses finding the right interface for a system as well as finding an effective design for a system implementation. Furthermore, abstraction is the basis for program construction, allowing programs to be built in a modular fashion. This talk will discuss how the abstraction mechanisms we use today came to be, how they are supported in programming languages, and some possible areas for future research.

At first, I was afraid of the concept, as the original is so impeccably flawless, but I think the new mix does it as much justice as one could ask, albeit in a different, more modern mood.

Well, then I guess that is a reasonable song title and promo shot.

The new Air is decidedly more rock-y, with more classical soul influences, in place of the gay-70s-French-robot vibe that has pervaded their previous showings.
