A Meditation on Biological Modeling

No doubt biological modeling is meant for mainstream biologists also, not just for hard core computer scientists or mathematicians. Not every one using the computer knows how transistors work or let say to drive a car you don't need to be a mechanic. Presented at SciFoo 2009, this short video takes a lighthearted look at the future of biological modeling
Why have modeling approaches yet to be embraced in the mainstream of biology, in the way that they have been in other fields such as physics, chemistry and engineering? What would the ideal biological modeling platform look like? How could the connectivity of the internet be leveraged to play a central role in tackling the enormous challenge of biological complexity?
