If you’ve been around, you might’ve noticed that our relationships with programs have changed.

Older programs were all about what you need: you can do this, that, whatever you want, just let me know. You were in control, you were giving orders, and programs obeyed.

But recently (a decade, more or less), this relationship has subtly changed. Newer programs (which are called apps now, yes, I know) started to want things from you.

    Newer programs (…) started to want things from you.

    Do you remember “Blade Runner”? People wanted to know from robots what they are: human or robot.

    Today robots are demanding this from people.
