Word of the day: `Spime'
According to wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spime):
A thing (no clue what applies) with a reflection mechanism similar to that known of class objects in programming?
Spime, as a noun, is a neologism for an imaginary object that is still speculative. The term is usually applied to the design of items with increasing complexity due to increased functionality.(eg future products interfacing with the internet or other complex systems, personal computers, etc)
Spimes are precisely located in space and time and have histories, records, are tracked, inventoried, and always associated with a naratives and identities.
A Spime is an object that can link and swiftly reveal everything about itself, interlinking with search engines and databases.
"Spime" was probably first used in a large public forum by Bruce Sterling at SIGGRAPH Los Angeles, August 2004
