The Future of Software Engineering by 2050

Abstract

According to the huge criticality of using advanced software systems and the great demands of providing updated and qualified programs, this paper reflects some future perspectives towards the importance of software in managing everything in the world life over the next thirty years. Moreover, the paper presents the challenges which face the recent and the future generations as a result of this huge revolution of technology and automations. In addition to that, the writer would provide some solutions for those obstacles in order to enhance the role of software engineers in 2050. Also the paper reviews the related literature and surveys the point of view of software engineering experts by assigning an online interview with six open ended questions to examine their perspectives towards the future of Internet of things, Artificial intelligence, ubiquitous computing, and system of systems. The majority of ideas reflected the humanity fears of technology and replacing people with robots in the job fields. Furthermore, some experts encouraged the idea of having smart homes, and wearable devices
