I'll agree with that. I've been saying for about 10 years that software will reach a point similar to hardware or building where everything is done on a blue print and signed off on before a single line of code is written.

Have you ever noticed in old movies how complicated it was to place a call? Or to turn on old cars? And now it is really easy. I think that's because they are mature technologies. Maybe software is not yet mature? If someone uses the computer for finance, or writing a book, why should he bother himself with stuff not directly related to his interest? If you go buy some ice cream, should you know about refrigeration? Or should you be interested in it's price and it's quality?
