summary	The title comes from two different motives. At first it is a trial of excuse and introduces the subject of my exposure. The second reason is a way of improve dramatic accents from the beginning of my presentation. Computers are changing the world. Nobody can imagine a contemporary world without a useful help of them. We got used to the presence of computers in practically each area of existence. This presence is the first way in which computers are changing the world. The second way is less spectacular, but it completes the first one. It is an influence onto the human mentality and human way of thinking and working. This influence is often difficult to see and realize, but in my opinion is more interesting. Everybody knows that the computers are making the work of architects different. Is it a difference of quantity only or maybe also of quality? Which was the influence of computers onto an architectural space? Would it be different (better? worst?) if we were not used CAAD technology?
