THREE THESES ON CULTURE INFORMATIQUE

Abstract

1. All those who feel responsible for l'informatique strive to better the existing world through it and/or wish to create a 'new world of l'informatique'. 2. The question what is counted among the determining factors of 'the world informatique', or the weight and level of the discussion on the various problems are jointly determined by the local (national or regional) practical challenges and t heoretical necessities the questioner has to face. 3. The way to find a common denominator for the various approacbes of l'informatique certainly cannot by creating an artificial unity through disregarding the differences of aspect and opinion and stressing the overall common elements: t he creation of a global, comprehensive model cannot do without taking into account the different necessities and realities inherent to each given region. The world l'informaiique, too, needs a computerised world model.
