Ongoing trends have marked the history of computing

There are 5 ongoing trends have marked the history of computing which are :

• Ubiquity
• Continual reduction in cost of computing capability
• The processing power become more and more common.
• Interconnection
• Computer system are not stand alone , but connected into distributed system
• Example are internet
• Distributed and concurrent systems have become norm
• Intelligence
• Complexity of tasks about automating and delegating able do by the computer.
• Delegation
• Computer able to do some decision without human intervention
• computers have the power to decide even safety critical tasks.
• Example:
• fly-by-wire aircraft because the machine judgement may be trusted more than an experienced pilot.
• Human-Orientation
• the View during programming is more toward human rather than machine-oriented .
• implementation software in terms of higher-level which are more human oriented and abstractions.
