I was interested the other day in one of the media blurbs about the first QF 380.

It was something like.... if there was a (total?) hydraulic failure there would be no problems because although the pilots might not be able to fix it the computers could still fly the aircraft...everything would be OK.

No we are told that in certain circumstances a computer can cause an incident such as experienced by the 330 from Singapore....

Are we heading for a situation where new aircraft are computer driven instead of computer assisted and if so is this a cause for concern?
