I hate the quote "Software is eating the world" because everyone keeps referring to it as though it's ingenious but in 2011 that fact was already pretty well established... It's like if someone said "the sky is blue" or "it is raining right now".

If anyone less powerful than Mark Andreessen had said it, nobody would reference this trivial phrase.

With this kind of attitude, I'm surprised that people are not quoting Mark Zuckerberg for saying “OK, I'm gonna take off the hoodie" because it carries about the same amount of information.
