Has Software Eaten the World? A Discussion on the Evolution and Future Direction of Software
11/04/21 • 37 min
1 Listener
Marc Andreessen wrote his now famous essay in the Wall Street Journal “Why Software Is Eating The World.” The point of the piece was to highlight the role that software would play in the transformation of every industry. The article was provocative in 2011 and quite frankly still holds up well today.
We discuss the two major software paradigms
1. The Software Evolution Stack - meaning how software has evolved
-
- Packaged software - late 80's to 90's
- Software as a Service - Late 90's
- Component software- Mid 2000's
- Self organizing/self writing software - 2022 on
2. Software with tentacles - meaning how we interact with software. In the old world we interacted with software via keyboards and printers. In the new world we add IoT devices.
Emerging technologies we discuss include IoT, low code, no code, AI, artificial intelligence, scan and go, virtual reality, augmented reality, POS, social selling and social commerce
Give it a listen and let us know what you think?
