I have exposure to software in medical devices such as an MRI machine. As far as I can tell, in these expensive devices atleast, the predictions of this article 'Software will eat Software' do not apply unless you are talking complete stagnation of new machine development. Apart from this it requires programmers to understand MR physics to even begin making any sort of real development - takes a minimum of 3 years to come to speed after an advanced degree IMHO.
