How do you see the future of computing ?
nosse: I had to walk a bit to think this through. My mind works best when walking.I think touch screens will be cool toys for the toddlers, but adults will use something different. Think about it, your fingers are blocking your view just when you need it the most.I don't know what will happen, but I hope some technology would get the drones out of those cubicles. Something like chorded keyboards and holographic eye-wear combined with wireless network.If some country would start to teach the use of chorded keyboard in elementary school, it might be a huge leap for the economics of that country.If you work in small room, your ideas will be smaller too, if you work while sitting, your mind will be sitting too.Nowadays programmers work to make software for other people. That will change. In future people will increasingly do their own software as programming is already taught in some schools as a basic skill. And programmers will increasingly make software for other programmers as the percentage of programmers/workforce constantly rises.Both of these will shape programming towards "write what you want, and the machine will optimize it for you".Actually some of the programming might not be writing at all. Some people are way better with images than words, and even today dudes draw pictures to help themselves to grasp what they are doing. Look at well formed C and the python, indentation was meant to help, now in python it's the way of doing things. Same might happen for other stuff originally just meant to display the info a bit clearer.
