>>Technology is more complicated than even a few years ago. It can do more. It is accessible to more people (and all of their unique needs and abilities). Computers have the ability to make an almost infinite number of interconnections with other computers. Infinite? Hardly. This is hyperbole and bombast. One wonders what your measure of complexity is? Hardware is not more complex than a few years ago (processor instruction pipelining and caching was being done in the 80's for example). Languages are no more complex, although there will always be a fresh crop every year (has been since th 60's). The complexity I will grant is that in large applications and interacting processes. But large systems have been complex since forever (50 million loc cobol mainframe apps) and intercommunition today is much simpler than 10 years ago (SOAP vs REST, xml vs json). So the perception of increasing complexity is due to lack of perspective, imo.
