> * The process is self-feeding. With the internet came the development of online interaction tools, techies use them more than any other segment and this creates a large coherent mass of lemmings and network effects I feel it's mostly this; there are a few people actually creating these 'new' (most are just the same thing without little benefit, however, some people are better talkers/pr/marketers than others and so win a lot of souls) technologies and then they get many followers with more loud voices than brain who also start to shout about how everything before this was crap. A lot of effort in software is destroyed for not much reason but resume, ego and opinions. I like software that runs without issues for 10-20 years; it keeps me sane. As with all this tech, not many companies need it but their internal 'gurus' push it along anyway, wasting money and time and speeding up the rot.
