Software advances allow technology to do more tasks formerly requiring humans, creating efficiencies-productivity enhancements-that can grow the economy. Technological change driven by software also impacts our economy in basic ways, as computer technology drives more aspects of production, marketing, services, and sales. As our connection to technology tightens, it drives rapid cultural evolution, in effect changing what it means to be human. Software is also becoming more tightly connected to humans through advances in dealing with speech and human language, as well as being always available through mobile devices. Software can evolve quickly, and that factor is driving an accelerating pace of change in technology. Software is driving most technology today, from PCs to mobile phones to thermostats.
