Mass production's only casulty is the quality. A pc is old after 6 month and the material they use is cheap, so its not only the system, the equipment suffer of it aswell.

also one must consider the enviromental issues here.
this constant upgrading of technology creates obsolete machines which have to be disposed of and are often left in landfill sites to rot (or not with some materials).
just a little side issue to consider for you there mate

It depends on whether you are a buyer or a seller.

I think its a balanced essay, with arguments both for and against, then a personal conclusion?

hmm...
good points...
technology is the great leveller,.. faster integration into the community...which provides jobs...increases productivity.... makes the world a smaller place..leads to exchange of ideas and information... which means 3rd world countries can leapfrog generations of older technology and can adopt the newer systems with ease and quickly...
bad points
technology too fast leads to... confusion over what standardization to use...high prices as a result of not optimizing the production cycles... a human component "is it really helpful or is it another annoying invention"... backward compatibility with older technologies sometimes overlooked... obvious environmental issues which include hazardous waste management...
conclusion.. your own
does this help? |

@plasmadog - well put! Another little thought - are smaller countries, like the UK, better and quicker at adapting to new technology than much larger sized countries like the US? e.g. when going from analogue to digital mobile networks, there would physically be less masts to replace/upgrade here in the UK than there would in the US, for example.

I say too fast, it is getting hard to keep up with it from a consumer's standpoint. On the other hand, as a manufacturer or seller, it is probably moving just right.
Look at it this way: if you put out a new device every year, there is a good chance everyone will upgrade to the new device. If you put out a new phone every day, there is a chance that no one will buy it.
Simply put, It is a matter of supply and demand. You don't see P900 users running out in drives to get a P910, but P800 users might consider upgrading to a P910.
It is really open to interpretation.

sammy boy,
it would seem that smaller countries like the uk are quicker.geography really plays a part, but that's really open to a lot of other factors as well.
using ur analogy of masts to replace/upgrade... yes physically it is easier to implement a generation change in a small period of time. but it also depends on
economies of scale (because the company that is replacing masts in the us is going to make more profit than it doing the same in uk). so the margins have to be higher in the uk, which might lead to a higher cost to consumers.
level of governmental committment to change, especially with respect to beureaucratic red tape..
if consumers are ready to pay more for a new/better service
another good analogy one can use here is the proliferation of broadband in south korea.
