While not directly related to network security, this article delves into how the world of technology has changed. Normally, we think of technology constantly evolving, each device stronger, faster, better than the last. It seems, however, that while that may be the case sometimes, it certainly isn't always making the big bucks.
So what succeeds in the technology consumer market?
Welcome to the "Good Enough" Revolution.
"cheap, fast and simple", that sums it up for me.
ReplyDeleteI like the Kaiser concept of micro-clinics for health care, and the 80-20 rule, 20% of the effort delivers 80% of the value to consumers.
Also, the concept of feature creep, adding more features to a product that is already working. I have seen this idea kill good software development.
I like the idea of prioritizing accessibility over features.
This reminds me of something I read in a book named "The Big Necessity", by Rose George. She talks about developing countries by passing building infrastructure for communications like phone poles, etc, and going straight to cell phones. Cheap, fast and simple.
I like this Good Enough idea!
