'Fast.....Cheap......Robust'.......choose any two, Only Two!
Since I am a person from Electronics, so whenever I think of technology the first thing which comes to my mind is Moore's Law.......which said that Every 10 years the indutry will see the doubling of the speed of its components and almost double the number of electronics components in the same area. And now the world has even defied Moore's Law, and its pace is so fast that not even 6 months are enough to double up the speed and decrease the size of the components.
But at the same time I am reminded of a great saying, 'Fast.....Cheap....Robust.....choose any two', I am not sure whether this statement was given in context of Technology or something else. But whatever field we wish to choose we shall never find an anamoly to this law......and to me it feels that it has become an universal fact, as of now.
Lets take an example.....the present industry, say software........have we ever come across a software application which claims to be robust......and still cheap.......here cheap may be taken as cheap in terms of memory requirements. In electronics, have you come across any gadget which claims to be cheap....fast and reliable at the same point of time?
Hey reader's I would love to hear from you, if you have any contradiction to this law.
Plz do write.
bye!

hi..sarsij, Great to see u blogging despite ur CAT.The world defying Moore's Law is good news.Every time a law is made either it fails after some years or is applicable only to certain domain and/or under certain constraints..Newton's Law is one such example.
The saying 'Fast ..cheap..robust..choose any two' although hearing 4 the first time is just Common Sense which we people often forget.A contradiction to this is Samsung cellphones ,it is faster, cheaper, with enhanced features and equally robust to Nokia.

Hi Sarsij,
i haven't heard of this Moore's law. I only know one Moore ..Dammy Moore...and also 'Fast ..cheap..robust..choose any two' i am hearing for the first time.
can you elaborate this statement and try to give some good relevant example.
