Bruce Sterling: Ten Technologies That Deserve to Die
Technologies are habits. And it’s time to shed some bad ones. Re-hab even.
I was blown away in the recent (September 2003) Harper’s Index that:
Maximum number of miles that Ford’s most fuel-efficient 2003 car can drive on a gallon of gas : 36
Maximum number its 1912 Model T could : 35
That is what I call ZERO PROGRESS.
Time for some real progress.
