Publisher: ivencia.com 2010
Description:
We have forgotten the original promise of software technology. It was meant to make our lives easier.

In doing so, we shall in turn take our lead from the practice of Architecture, when Architects formed themselves into organizations determined to combat the problem of buildings falling on people's heads.
