The Human Factor in Software Engineering

When reading technical literature and information about new technological products and software, I more and more have the impression that all usefull applications have already been developed. For my daily life and work, I do not need additional software and not even additional functionality for my current software. The only improvements that make sense are better quality, security and privacy. For some applications, I would even vote to deleting some functionality in order to improve quality.

In the production domain, more automatization leads to better efficiency, but one day we reach the point where everything that can be automatized already is.

Then, we could relax, but something is driving is to innovation and growth. Financial need or psychological disease??
