When did you form those thoughts? The last 10 years has had pretty monotonic progress in the opposite direction. It seems unlikely for the technology to suddenly stop and certainly not go backwards.

It's that 80/20 rule... I'm sure Canada saw monotonic progress in their payroll system over the last 10 years, too. But with cars, the 20 can kill, not just screw up paychecks.
