Byte the cookie....
No one can deny the fact that technology is out there to constantly improve the standards of living and keep improving upon itself to no limit. Software for example, we keep getting better versions of the same package with some new features added into it, with more ease of use and feature rich ...uh...features. But why do you think this does not apply to other things in industry? Take for example, say, a cookie (the one you can eat!). When you bite into it, the crumbs fall all over your dress. Now if the cookie were a software application, IMO the developers would spend lots of endless days and nights improving on the cookie so that it doesn't crumble anymore when you bite into it. Then they'll patent their technology and sell it as "Cookie v1.1" which is a definite improvement over the Cookie v1.0. What is it about the tech industry that keeps people from being satisfied with what they have? Why is it only limited to technology and software? Why is it that people are quite satisfied eating the same Cookie, crumbling with every bite, for years, but they need a more improved and feature rich version of the playstation2 they bought just a year back?
Sorry folks, just a passing thought. Maybe I should give my computer a rest for a couple of days.
