The document discusses the challenges of coupled software systems and proposes using a "web inside software" approach using NetKernel to create decoupled systems. Specifically: - Traditional software becomes difficult to change over time due to tight coupling and "glue code", resulting in long-term costs outweighing benefits. - NetKernel aims to put the architecture of the web inside software to create distributed, decoupled systems like the web. This would allow independent evolution of components and viable long-term economics. - By resolving and caching resources like the web, NetKernel can connect business and opportunities for the digitized, data-driven world of 2020.
