I have a theory about "electronic development", specifically "computer development".
It goes like this :
An electronic system can improve and evolve until it reaches a point to where it becomes so large or sophisticated that the system must begin to fail.
By "must fail", I mean it will absolutely fail and there is no way around it.
A system that fails because of this will have hit it's EBP.
Google/youtube will test my EBP theory to it's fullest in the next 10 years.
If google/youtube does not divide and decentralize in the next 10 years then I would say my theory probably fails.
EBP has a human element also; meaning that human interaction with the system can cause EBP to hit. In other words the user hates the improvements and the improvements
become "bloat" that nobody uses yet the company must still maintain it.
Google plus(g+) is probably the best evidence of EBP approaching.
G+ is already a failure and now google has integrated it into youtube and gmail.
G+ may turn out to be nothing more than bloat that will drag down the other systems in the long term.
I use the term EBP because I'm specifically taking about computers; but this "developmental tragic end" concept is also seen in non-computer environments.
Example :
You now drown in your car if you drive into a lake because the safety and convenience features means that you can't open the door or manually roll down the window to escape
because the battery is shorted out when it hits the water.
In other words : You die in the car because it was made so fucking good.
