    Graças à espantosa explosão de teoria e prática da informação, novos avanços científicos foram se traduzindo numa tecnologia que não exigia qualquer compreensão dos usuários finais. O resultado ideal era um conjunto de botões que requeria apenas apertar-se no lugar certo para ativar um procedimento, sem demandar maiores contribuições das qualificações e inteligência limitadas e inconfiáveis do ser humano médio.
    A cobrança nos caixas de supermercado na década de 1990 tipificava essa eliminação do elemento humano. Não exigia do operador mais que reconhecer as cédulas e moedas do dinheiro local. Um scanner automático traduzia o código de barras do artigo num preço, somava todos os preços, deduzia o total da quantia entregue pelo cliente, e dizia ao operador quanto dar de troco. O procedimento para assegurar essas atividades se baseia numa combinação de maquinaria sofisticada e programação elaborada. Contudo, a menos que alguma coisa desse errado, esses milagres de tecnologia científica não exigiam mais que um mínimo de atenção e uma capacidade um tanto maior de concentrada tolerância ao tédio.
    Para fins práticos, a situação do operador de caixa do supermercado representava a norma humana de fins do século XX; não precisamos entender nem modificar os milagres da tecnologia científica de vanguarda, mesmo que saibamos, ou julguemos saber, o que está acontecendo. Outra pessoa o fará ou já fez por nós. Pois, ainda que nos suponhamos especialistas num ou noutro campo determinado, diante da maioria dos outros produtos diários da ciência e tecnologia somos leigos ignorantes sem compreender nada. Assim, a ciência, através do tecido saturado de tecnologia da vida humana, demonstra diariamente seus milagres ao mundo. É indispensável e onipresente.
    E, no entanto, o século XX não se sentia à vontade com a ciência que fora a sua mais extraordinária realização, e da qual dependia. O progresso das ciências naturais se deu contra um fulgor, ao fundo, de desconfiança e medo.
    A desconfiança e o medo da ciência eram alimentados por alguns sentimentos: o de que a ciência era incompreensível; o de que suas consequências tanto práticas quanto morais eram imprevisíveis e provavelmente catastróficas; o de que ela acentuava o desamparo do indivíduo e solapava a autoridade. Tampouco devemos ignorar o sentimento de que, na medida em que a ciência interferia na ordem natural das coisas, era inerentemente perigosa. Os primeiros dois sentimentos eram partilhados tanto por cientistas quanto leigos, os dois últimos pertenciam basicamente aos de fora.

    What to Look for in Spreadsheet Software
    There are several elements of Spreadsheet programs, and some are more important to particular users than others. Regardless, here are the most important aspects to consider when evaluating which spreadsheet software is right for you:

    Compatibility
    Today, whether you choose to go with Microsoft Excel or not, you will still have clients and associates who are using Excel. That means that you will need to be able to open and save your work in formats that Microsoft can work with. This means that one of the most important capabilities your new spreadsheet program must have is the ability to be compatible with Microsoft Excel.
    Spreadsheet programs can be much more interactive and functional if they can be accessed by computer programs. When you’re picking the spreadsheet that will help you the most, you’ll want to make sure your pick will work with the programming language you’ll need to be using.
   

    Formula
    When you’re doing your calculations, you’ll want a lot of flexibility when you’re inputting which parts should be added, subtracted, multiplied, divided, averaged, etc. Although all of the programs have these functions, not all of them are so easy to work with. You’ll want a tool that enables you to repeat the formulas for each row or column that is newly-created.
    You’ll also want a spreadsheet that has a large number of built-in formulae you can choose from. After all, you don’t want to reinvent the wheel every time you try to prepare a complex spreadsheet.
    Formula, however, may not be the way to go. Why? Because every time you need a formula in a new spreadsheet, you pretty much have to rebuild it and that's why many people are using programming languages to build functions that can be reused over and over. Obviously this can save you a great deal of time if you tend to build complex formulae.
