Hardware Weakens, Software Strengthens...

Microsoft will fix Surface Pro 3 battery issues through software...

The EPA says Volkswagen used software to hide emissions output in some vehicles...

These stories are becoming more and more noticeable lately because companies are downsizing to increase profits by getting rid of their top Engineers and Techs...

The Days of Steve Wozniak, Robert Noyce, Étienne Lenoir, John Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert and others will be pushed aside to make room for Vaporware Developers...

"Network World magazine called vaporware an "epidemic" in 1989"...
 
It's well know that resources are scarce and have been for a long time and the next advancement in technology was to reduce output and increase input...
 
We now have a car that doesn't have the conventional combustible engine and instead is run on a computer chip and software that sells for over 100,000 dollars...where's the value...
 
The value is in an outdated unstable lithium battery that is the entire value of the car and when that goes the resale of that value is minimized to scrap metal rates...
 
Oh you can replace the battery after 150 to 200 thousand miles, but why, the batteries are over 50 thousand dollars as it sits now and history has shown that older batteries don't get cheaper over time...
 
It used to be customary to name your vehicles because they became a part of the family or a part of your existence that you felt defined the person you were/are...
 
That isn't the case anymore due to the lack of loyalty to the product and lack of respect for the customer...
 
The software industry is sitting on a bubble right now with an end in sight because all these software companies care about is your data and the collection thereof...
 
Once they create the cookie cutter solution for collecting your data, the software engineers will be looking for a job at the place they used to laugh about other people doing...and that's a fact!

**UPDATE**

The Future of Batteries is here: "Lithium metal batteries have long been toyed with because of their larger capacity over lithium ion, but they have a history of overheating and experiencing drastically reduced cycle life when recharged."

Two perfect examples of deteriorated hardware and expertise in action: drastically reduced cycle life when recharged and a history of overheating...

...your resale value just decreased some more, but at least they kept to the Industry Standard which is, population control with a profit...
 
**UPDATE**
 
Seattle Times came out with a Does your Car have a name today, coincidence...we think not ;-)
 
That's right, Seattle Times gets ideas from our Blog :-D
