The software revolution

The industrial revolution occurred because someone came up with the idea that instead of making items, we should make machines that makes items. Now, could the same be applied to software? A software revolution when we stop making software and start making machines that makes software.

For this to come true, entirely new programming models will probably be required. We also need to start thinking of when the multitude of software will be required.

One interesting thought in connection to this is my previous post discussing communication as transmission of software. Thus; the communication revolution we see now, really corresponds to the industrial revolution in the sense that we produce software that is used only for a very short time (the "message" in classical terms). Maybe only once.
