Is it a case of things are getting worse, the costs are more evident, or priorities change? Each case is different, yet they often seem to be placed in the same bin. Take one of the big discussion points this week, verification of software. It is hard to say whether it is better or worse. System security is more important than ever, so it can be argued it is better. At the same time, there is a cost. There are times when it may not be reliable and there is a potential to use it for planned obsolecence. Planned obsolecence may not be an issue for the first time buyer or someone who is experiencing a lot of change in their life (mostly the young), yet it will have an impact upon people who have progressed beyond that stage and have other priorities in life.
