Software is all around us.
In 2008, the number of personal computers in the world surpassed one billion. In December 2013, experts estimated there were 1.4 billion smartphones in use.
Each of these devices is organized by an operating system, a very complex piece of software with many interrelated functions.
However, it only scratches the surface of what software does.
Software is used by businesses to communicate worldwide.
It is used to operate some of the most complex medical machines.
It regulates nuclear plants, electrical grids, and other utilities that provide the basics of life.
In the future, software may help us regulate and improve our bodies!
Today's wearable technology and implanted medical devices are just the beginning of what the next generation of software can do.
Of course, it is also behind the safe operation of more than 31 million commercial airline flights in the US every year.
In the future, software may even help us to regulate and improve our own bodies. Today's wearable technology and implanted medical devices are just the beginning of what the next generation of software can do.
