MmmmOriginally posted by BrilloPad View PostAt a recent computer expo someone reportedly compared the computer
industry with the
automobile industry, suggesting that if the car industry had kept up
with
technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving £25
cars
that do 1000 miles to the gallon.
The car industry fought back with the following:-
Yes, but would you want your car to crash twice a day?"
Every time they repainted the lines on the road would you want to buy a
new car.
Occasionally your car would die on the motorway for no apparent reason,
and
you would just accept this, restart and drive on.
Occasionally, executing a manoeuvre would cause your car to stop and
fail
and you would have to re-fit the engine. For some strange reason, you
would accept this too.
You could only have one person in the car at a time, unless you bought
"Car95" or "CarNT".
But then you would have to buy more seats.
Someone would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five
times as
fast, twice as easy to drive, but would only run on five percent of the
roads.
Some car owners would get expensive upgrades to their cars, which would
make their cars run much slower.
The oil, fuel and alternator warning lights would be replaced by a
single "general car fault" warning light.
New seats would force everyone to have the same sized backside.
The airbag system would say "are you sure?" before going off.
If you were involved in a crash, you would have no idea what happened."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
