The role of people in the world of computers

Are we no longer in control? It is true that today we are able to fix only a limited number of things by ourselves. Mending broken pieces of equipment is not possible anymore. Simple loose parts have been replaced by expensive integrated ones.

Products are also less mechanical and rely on many electronic parts. These days, even the engine in your car is computer-controlled.

Technology has become a sort of black box for us, which, put bluntly, we don’t really understand properly. In maths we are assisted by calculators, PCs and now also mobile phones.

Paper maps are becoming obsolete with the development of our phones – not to mention the autonomous cars that are about to come.
