Ciao Vytas Thanks. I thought your replies very interesting. Especially the questions around purpose. *The WHY coming before the HOW in your questions is exactly like what I was originally thinking about.*

Since software started, and then the net, various kinds of "models" of human creation and interaction have come to dominate. Its not a conspiracy or anything like that, rather just about getting a few approaches that work (commercially) upfront. However, I think it has also had a negative, narrowing effect. Just articulating the kind of questions you are (rightly) asking can get difficult as there is no common understanding of that issue. Personally, FWIW, when I think about these issues I try to avoid thinking about computing per se, concentrating more on human MEANING MAKING. Once you get to writing & computers direct "meaning" is already a step way as these are technologies you need to master in order to express intent effectively. ORAL cultures are very interesting for how they deal with Meaning and Memory that I think have much broad relevance. There is a lot of work on this by anthropologists and linguists that "think it anew". FWIW, probably, one of the finest general works introducing it is Walter Ong's "Orality & Literacy <https://www.amazon.co.uk/Orality-Literacy-New-Accents-Walter/dp/0415538386/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1525778746&sr=8-2&keywords=orality+and+literacy+ong&dpID=51iU%252BWn0czL&preST=_SY291_BO1,204,203,200_QL40_&dpSrc=srch> " I'll make a second reply shortly.
