Il 7 novembre 1959 nacque il linguaggio COBOL (COmmon Business-Oriented Language), creato dal comitato CODASYL col sostegno del Dipartimento della Difesa USA.
Preceduto da FORTRAN e LISP, fu il primo linguaggio standard per applicazioni business, con sintassi leggibile e istruzioni simili allโinglese. Portabile e orientato al business, rese possibile gestire dati aziendali in modo uniforme. Ancora oggi รจ usato in banche e enti pubblici, simbolo di longevitร e influenza storica.
Tutto viene trasformato in marketing e plasmato secondo "come il cliente vuole e desidera".
Da questo assunto รจ iniziato da tempo l'appiattimento delle proposte culturali.
Chi crea vuole visualizzazioni per rispondere a chi compra spazi pubblicitari. Per ottenere ciรฒ e raggiungere piรน pubblico possibile la proposta รจ costruita secondo "quello che uno vuole vedere".
