Software development in general has failed.
20 years ago I had an iPAQ, which is basically a handheld Windows machine. Today I have an Android. 20 years ago, the iPAQ had 32 megabytes of storage. My Android, if it only has 32 gigabytes, is used up in a month by just a couple of apps.
I could do the same things 20 years ago with my iPAQ that I do with my Android today. Yet today it requires 1,000 times more storage space and 100 times more processing power.
