Line 3: '''End User Computing''' can mean several things. However, given the intertwining of [[computation]] into all advanced disciplines, any tool (inclusive of any type of capability related to a ___domain/discipline) that is provided by a computer becomes part of the discipline (methodology, etc.). As such, the issue arises about how open the tool is to scrutiny. Some disciplines require more understanding of the tool set than do others. That is, tools that are [[operational]] in scope require less understanding than those that are [[ontological]]. As an example of the latter type of influence on disciplines, consider the impact that the computer has had on the [[Scientific_method#Computational_approaches\|scientific method]]. Some of the issues related to End User Computing concern architecture (iconic versus language interface, open versus closed, ...). These continue to be studied.
