Quite true.

At the moment, our computing model is still more or less a static model. Code is compiled into static instructions. Packers have static signatures. Data is treated as data, code is treated as code. So in a sense, it is still a (albeit less) restrictive console.

Maybe the future is in dynamicism. Code and data is mixed up, stirred well, one cannot tell if it's code or data. Code is generated on-the-fly, morphing from time to time.
