Make IT Sustainable Again!

Abstract

Our ‘Information Age’ is based on Information Technology (IT), what we expect to create soon more new value that the traditional production. However, in spite of massive investments in IT the expected results are not always seen: opening a web link stalls with “Veryfying link”, “We can't check the safety of this website right now”, “You do not have right to access folder ‘My Documents’” etc. It seems that (one of) the reasons is currently prevailing style of software production - instead of correcting errors in existing software are produced a new version correcting some issues, but incorporating a lot of old ‘bad’ modules, creating an overflow of versions what is making software increasingly difficult to use.
