Peter Diamandis’ book, Abundance,b
paints a very optimistic view of the future
and while one can be somewhat
skeptical, it seems fair to say innovation
has brought us the potential for
abundance and new work. The role
of computing in our society has increased
dramatically in the past half
century and it is my belief it will have
a major and perhaps increasing influence
on innovation in fields well
outside of traditional computing and
programming for the simple reason
that computing tools are becoming
essential to or at least involved in almost
everything we do.
