Journal rhythmx's Journal: Speaking of software.
Most contemopary people are unaware remain unaware of the nature of software
when related to communications in general. Software is not some ghostly image
conjoured by a computer wizard; It encompasses a much broader realm. Software
is in essence language. It can be translated into innumerable sequences of
differing interpetations.
Is software really different than any other list of dictated imperitives? How is the act of "teaching" a microprocessor how to move a robotic skeleton different than a telling a cashier how you would like your hamburger prepared? It is a simple matter of language; the creation of a channel of communication between man and machine.
It is worth noting here that it is a preposturous notion that one be forbidden to repeat set of actions that one has observed.
Learn a new language and teach others how to as well. This has been going on throught all of history. Without it, no ideas would have ever been exchanged -- For it is impossible to communicate without common language, and it is certainly impractical if not impossible to learn a new language without being allowed to speak it freely.
