Conclusion

In this article, we have started from a general point of view of moral Utility, and by applying it to the particular field of computing, we have deduced several key requirements for computing systems to be as useful as they could be. We came to affirm concepts like dynamism, genericity, reflectivity, separation and persistency, which unhappily no available computing system fully implements.

So to conclude, there is essentially one thing that we have to fight: the artificial informational barriers that lack of expressivity and misdesign of former software, due misknowledge, misunderstanding, and reject of the goals of computing, build between computer objects and others computer objects, computer objects and human beings, human beings and other human beings.
