I don't know what we're really talking about here, but I had a conversation earlier today why I will be getting another iPhone instead of an android- because I already know how to use it, it does everything I want, my entire day is filled with not knowing enough and constantly learning or figuring out something, and it just works.
I have enough to learn/figure out, if you show me something that "just works", well, I must already be using it.
- mayankgureja 14y agoIf it works, it works. But can it be better? What I'm saying is that something doing what it's supposed to isn't the end of the story. Can it do better? Can it also do something else, which is close to its capabilities but just not realized yet? An endless pursuit of betterment. That's what we're really talking about.
- ucee054 14y agoNo, by adding features you add complexity and therefore compromise reliability. So what we are REALLY talking about is how you want to "endlessly pursue" my devices and "better" them until none of them work anymore.
- mayankgureja 14y agoCompare cars from even a decade ago to what we have now. Far more features in safety, comfort, economy. Are they less reliable? Maybe/maybe not. See this (sources cited on Page 3): http://auto.howstuffworks.com/under-the-hood/diagnosing-car-problems/mechanical/cars-less-problematic.htm http://auto.howstuffworks.com/under-the-hood/diagnosing-car-... Car manufacturers could've easily stopped innovating and bettering the automobile eons ago, thinking it works and does what it's supposed to so what's the point. (Sure they did it for profit and not purely for the sake of innovation, but who doesn't?) But they didn't, which is why we have the Tesla Model S and Honda FCX and much more today to marvel at.
