We hope that in the 70th programming will be taught to specialists in algorithmic languages, and algorithmic languages - to children. Former children. Will information become "commodity"? What society and personality changes will occur in the 70th as a result of progress in programs and computers?

addressed to L.Nolin: Is it worth - even in perspective - to call informatics a science, having in mind such sciences as mathematics, which deals with problems formulated in abstract terms and therefore doesn't claim its results to be true outside these abstract models. In its turn, informatics, in my opinion, deals with real problems delivered by life itself and demanding one-valued answers not restricted by some assumptions. Therefore we will always be confronted by situations where we will be forced to use a method that is in general divergent - a solution absurd from mathematical point.

To S.S. Lavrov: Book-trading network doesn't accept orders for the Academy of Science Computing Center "Algorithms and Algorithmic Languages" collection, and only the lucky ones can buy it in "Akademkniga" bookstores. How to receive it on a regular basis?

1. What will be a solution of a problem of informing the users about all the detail of various, qualitatively and quantitatively growing software tools of 70ies? 2. It is known that computers still have not replaced a slide-rule in engineer's hands. Will automated information systems and software systems in particular replace similar manual systems in the nearest future? Will, in discussion participant's opinion, the works in this direction stay topical, in particular - works in the direction of perfection of programmers' personal skills? 7.02.70 L.Shurukht, Moscow

Please read out the following two ideas I had no chance to give my view on. 1) Anybody wishing to work on a compiler for the lively Great Russian language please write to the following address: Moscow, B-465, Giprotis, To Panteleev Anatoly Georgievich 2) Are computers "computational"? It's time to notice that arithmetic is long since not essential. A traditional name holds traditional view on instruction systems. It is worth considering how to call computers in the future, what instructions became obsolete, and what fundamentally new instructions should be added, and to discuss this at the next conference.
