Would evolutionary algorithms be the next big thing in design culture? In this article you can find out some clues about evolutionary algorithms (like the most known cloning and stem cell discussions) This technology may lead the way through the unnatural selection that is not controlled by human, but just give the opportunity to decide to choose from a millions of functional designs.

To become a professional antenna designer, you can follow one of two paths: you can enroll in college- and graduate-level courses on electromagnetism, immerse yourself in the empirical study of antenna shapes, and apprentice yourself to an established technician willing to impart the closely guarded secrets of the discipline.

This article is showing that software and programming will not go complex in time but it will be easened in order to keep design processes unharmed or undecelerated from the deficiency of programming capabilities.

Software is collapsing under the weight of its own complexity. Charles Simonyi’s solution? Programming tools that are so simple that even laypeople can use them.
