Software is a Thought Product

Yes, Software is a Thought Product !

Then what is NOT a Thought Product ? Can you name one ?

NO .

Everything that we can create, MUST exist in our Thinking Space first, then ONLY we create that, even centuries later ;-) ... Look at Leonardo Da Vinci's Great Thoughts and Imaginations !!

Yet, I call Software a Thought Product emphatically and want to characterise IT as more of a Thought Product than any other human artifacts ! Essentially what happens so frequently in most software development projects and its associated digital space that any software is greatly shaped and reshaped, (... re-shaped, again .. and again..) by the Mutual Thoughts (and lack-of-thoughts ;-) of the Developers, Users, Customers, and Stakeholders ...

So I call it a Thought Product !
