yea they are still different technologies

the same way a V2 rocket and an ICBM are different technologies

the components changed but the purpose remains the same. its innovation not invention when you compare the purpose not the components.

its a more complicated version of someone making a wood straw and then another making a metal straw. one is more complicated but its still just innovation.

this thread is about comparing old technologies to new ones. obviously tvs now are a different technology than before

im not really sure wtf youre rambling about

talking about "or example, i just invented a unique device to poke my dog with, and then i destroyed it."

you don't seem to understand the difference between invention and innovation.

okay would you prefer i say "i just created a new device "?? the semantics of the word invent arent important to this thread. its about whether or not a technology can become obsolete

like really could you be more irrelavent? like fuck i couldve stolen the idea from neighbor. and you never saw my device it couldve been invisible and you couldve drawn rainbows with it

the point of it was that i had a unique useless technology that i destroyed, and its now obsolete and doesnt exist anymore

whether i invented it, stole it, shitted it out of my ass doesnt matter

You are absolutely preposterous.

ssds are getting cheaper. i saw 200GB for $220 on slickdeals, thats much much cheaper than a year back.

granted not quite like HDD, its a different animal.
