I keep reading these articles about software revolutions that are happening because of OpenSource and other things of that nature. After reading many of these articles I have determined that software isn't going through a revolution. It is going through a Renaissance. It is very similar the the Artistic Renaissance in that people were not learning how to paint a picture or make a sculpture instead they were redefining the way they did it and the what their final producted looked like.
This is really the same with software. Nothing new is actually happening in software. People are still writing code and it is still being run by the computer. What is changing is how a programmer looks at it, creates it, designs it and what the finished product looks like.
Renaissance is also defined by "revival of learning" which falls right into the lap of the OpenSource community. This is becuase the OpenSource community is about sharing knowledge and learning from others.
