Electronic Breaking Point (EBP) will google hit it?
 

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.

Im not sure I agree. I do know there are limits in regards to how small architecture in computers can get, something like a few nanometers.

I think google/youtube will be fine. It really comes down to system management and networking.

Maybe im viewing EBP differently, im thinking of a system failure.

Google is a company, not a product.

I agree with you from a standpoint of hardware failure.
The EBP is more like a service failure.
The service will become slow, things will be inaccurate, answers are too hard to find
and the user leaving the service is what shows that it broke.

:2 cents:

Yeah, the same way that a football team is not a product.
Tampa Bay is broken.

You're so fucking stupid too.
