Some Problems with modern Computing:

Codification of human intelligence has greatly benefited some individuals and organisations, however it has also negatively impacted and disrupted the lives and businesses of many more others. This raises a number of major issues at a global level, such as:

  • In order to bring down the costs and risks in the procurement, development or use of modern software, a more level playing field is now required

  • The Software Industry has guarded its own unusual knowledge for decades, while at the same time it has codified the knowledge of many others

  • Codification of human intelligence and knowledge on a global scale has devalued education and the knowledge that it provides

  • Multiple software development methodologies now exist, and none of them convey their true nature

  • A power imbalance now exists between providers and buyers or users in the development or procurement of complex software-based systems

  • Use of the Internet and Cloud Computing continues to widen the existing imbalance.

US psychologist and philosopher Alison Gopnik provided the perceptive idea that:

Modern Computing is a new " cultural technology", which enables individuals take advantage of collective knowledge, skills and information accumulated through the activity of other people.
