Kay also mentioned the Internet is an OO system. At one point he was thinking every object would have it's own IP address.

He does have an account here on HN. https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=alankay1 I hope he doesn't get tired of explaining the same things over-and-over again. I have asked questions and he has answered, but I usually end up misinterpreting the ideas. :(

Yep, I follow him pretty closely, and knew about his account and comments on here.

Funny story: That is at least the second account that he created on HN. He registered an earlier one just to reply to a comment that I had made[1].

Ha ha. I always wondered why that lonely one-comment account existed. I suspect many people are using data abstraction and calling it OOP. I am not a professional programmer. What do you like to use when designing software? Functional? Types? C? Haskell? Pharo?
