World War 3 will be because of bad software

Technology handled irresponsibly corrupts. Remember EFNETeers flooding IRC? Or the AOLers chatting?

Remember when 133t speak was cool, then became uncool and then proper spelling and grammer became the norm again? SMS has stupified a lot of people - lk u cnt u rd ths. One problem was solved (short messaging) and a bigger problem was created (adults who don't know the proper use of grammar or how to spell).

The same thing is happening in the business sphere - people want software that should know how to do their job. Inventory management? Writing out invoices? Calculating tax? Selling your product?

I believe that dependence on technology to that degree indicates the persons involved aren't capable of running their own business. If you can make a business idea work 'offline' then you have a chance 'online' - otherwise you are just betting the bank.

Good software can't make up for unskilled people. Don't blame the tools, blame the users! (HAR HAR). After all, software is much easier to fix compared to people.

As soon as the powers that be recognize that software is a craft, not an engineering discipline.
