Research - Programming in the Future Just a decade ago, computer programs consisting of 5,000 lines of code were considered long. Today, programs can contain millions of lines of code. What will computer programming be like in the future? Some experts see such trends as continued movement toward object-oriented languages, greater participation in programming by computer users, and computers taking a more active part in programming themselves. Using the Web and/ or print media, research recent developments in programming and the impact these developments will have on the future of programming. Prepare a report on what you think programming will be like in 10 years. Be sure to address the following questions in your report: How will programming be different from what it is today? Who will be doing the programming? How will they be programming? What effect might developments in computer hardware have on programming?
