Today I'm going to talk about why software - any software, all software - actually matters, what the different types of software are, and why you should care about its properties (no matter who you are, or what you do).

I found it to be pretty good mostly, however it seemed to get a bit, I dunno, almost preacher-like at some points. Sort of a... "I'll bait you with this example and then... AHAH! See! You knew there was a trick somewhere here and then I delivered! Yay for me!" thing... But yeah, I think that those of us who know non-computer-types could easily point them to this article for at least a starter explanation on why closed software isn't the best idea for our future.
