A progress in the computing technology continues to accelerate but at the same time people realize social threats of it. The growing dependency on the computing technology may even cause a disaster in a technical sense, the same as an electrical power blackout, for example. Societies are constantly under the pressure of mass media, which strongly depend on the number of commercials. Also conferences are supported by companies of the IT profile. So everything concerning computers must be OK and the reliable critics has rather small chance to appear.
Computer applications exceed a barrier, below which a person uses a computer system to do something.
Instead of it citizens are forced to behave in a way, which the authors of computer applications have designed often ignoring human predisposition and habits, their likes and dislikes, and so on. Software designers verbally declare their efforts to protect multiculturalism against the domination of the western culture. Concern for quality as a way to respect an individualization of needs and taste Software engineering adapts many techniques and procedures applied in other technical disciplines. The process is still far from satisfactory. The new proposal is not to limit quality features to those basic six goals, specified in the standard ISO 9126, which still mostly refer to technical aspects of a software product.
