Computers will control the device, but the computer will still just be moving 1s and 0s around.

Sorry Glatt. We seem to be speaking to different issues.
In the last part of Dana's video, Tim Berners-Lee is speaking to the concept of "creativity"
and saying that it does not come by starting at the technical level.
Instead, it comes from those ideas that change human endeavors.
He more or less says to his audience that to be "creative",
they need to start with new ideas that change human behavior.
Obviously, the internet (web) did that...
and FaceBook, tho it was not so intended, also has done that.
Also, Visicalc->Excel was another example of creative software that made such a change.
But now (IMO) adding voice recognition or streaming videos to the TV set... not so much.
For a while, Google was on that path by creating applications
that changed our access to information (search / maps / shopping / translations, etc.)
but now they are going in different directions (i.e., gathering $),
and they do recognize that the creativity of their work force is diminishing.
So they are constructing a whole new complex of buildings they hope will "foster creativity".
