Future Computing Profession

By Raul Bernardino (Dino)

We all knew that nowadays, the information and technology revolution has become a part of the human being life. It is become an integral part of the human society. Every effort that is built toward the new technologies is for the best of the society.

As a computing profession, we have to be ready to introduce new technology that is being developed, the technology that will be most probably to be developed and also design new capable system to accommodate society needs.

The computing profession it will be look like the same as it is today. In my personal prediction there would no major change in this field of the profession.  

There would be lot of developers whereas to develop the database application or information systems databases will be not as difficult as it is today and it maybe just using drag and drop tools (cross platform).  Or the developer found the smarter application databases that can adjust and adapt to any needs.

In the schools starting from elementary to senior high are using computers for the interactive learning process and as part of the integrate curriculums. It would be possible also to implement the on-line study senior high schools even non formal education. The youth under care can also still continue their study from home.

Today green environment campaign also triggers to have a paperless at schools, offices, and etc. Therefore, in coming future from 10 to 50 years there would be no more paper found in the schools, shops, home and offices; all are in digital mode. The trend is mobility. A lot palm devices will produce with interactive application in which to use on time decision in the business, connect anywhere and anytime, and easy to operate.

The cloud computing and internet communication are also helps a lot for the new running enterprise business because this new entrepreneurs do not need to invest in Information Technology Infrastructure. They can just started with their own mobiles and connect to cloud computers in which all data are being processed.

The ethical of the computing professional is still need because it is dealing with the copyright, trade-marks, privacy, data security and freedom of speech.

The culture will be quite different because there would be no more boarders at all. Internet connection will be everywhere. Everyone can interact or communicate with everyone else without and precondition. What about language in computing profession? I think English still a preferable language for the information and technology and however there would be an adaptation to the original mother tongue.
