I've seen few discussions of the ramifications of technological and cost/benefit evolutions.


  • Example: use of registry entries vs DLLs, et al


  • Example: the frequent ebb and flow between the use of RAM/disk and microcode. Few seem to realize that you can do anything with software that you can do with hardware and vice versa. And that sometimes you reach a point where one becomes cheaper or better than the other and a switch occurs, which is reversed and reversed again as technologies "leap frog" into the future.
