Missing Feature Technology:
Tomas asks: “Is it just me or is contemporary technology just never good enough?” I think he’s quite right. There never seems to be one product that has all the features you’re looking for, something essential is always lacking. I’m not sure why though.
Do they simply ‘forget’ to put it in, or do they assume that time and cost factors to incorporate the feature are simply to ‘pricy’ (i.e. others might beat them to the market, $10 extra on the cost of the good will put it out of reach for most consumers)? Don’t they understand that a truely ‘killer’ product’s intrinsic value and functionality will make it no.1? Guess not.
Those more paranoid individuals amongst our consumer ranks believe that the preverbial ‘kitchen sink’ is left out in order to be able to keep us coming back for the next product release. Quite possibly.
In the end of course, it’s just that ‘not good enough’ aspect that drives us to explore the new solutions, and develop the newer, better, still-not-good-enough technologies.
