Computer programs are all around us, we interact with them every day. It looks as if software is becoming more and more important to our society. But why do we find programs so necessary to us? Why and when did we start programming? What is the essence of programming? These questions might sound trivial, but I feel that today we still don’t have a good definition of what programming is.
 
In this philosophical talk I will redefine the art of programming in a refreshing way. I will give the audience a new perspective about their daily jobs and some original insights about the nature of programming. After the presentation you will understand what programs, maps and clocks have in common and what is the ultimate purpose of software development.
