Onwards into the new(ish)
We seem to be stuck in a view that as soon as a new thing comes along the old has to vanish. But it isn't so.
Progress means that new replaces old because it does the job better. My parents had a stand alone washing machine and a mangle. It went as soon as modern machines with spinners arrived. No one had to make them.
But fax machines do the job effectively and well for most use cases for most users. Which is why they haven't jumped ship to some newer technology. It works.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
