Advanced Technology That’s Strangely Unreliable
Technology still manages to shock me. Not because it’s clever. We all know it’s clever. What surprises me is how often it fails at basic things. I’m not talking about complicated scientific systems or experimental gadgets. I mean the everyday stuff. The things we all…

Is Support Always Meant To Be Ongoing?
