Group discussion

My group was compromised of Evan Abramson, William Hanlon, and myself. We were assigned to read Koan 3: There is Want in the Midst of Plenty. To Summarize this koan, the author was saying that computer development is moving so rapidly that all the old data is becoming obsolete and that faster new technologies are developed, the faster things become obsolete. I am not completely sure how much I agree with this. Yes it makes sense that data written on paper is becoming harder and harder to come across but that can also be credited to the paperless mindset people have in an attempt to save trees. But when you look at video games systems for example, there are people still playing systems that were made 10-15 years ago, the only thing changing is the graphics. This koan intersects in our student life with the way we use google drive. EVERYTHING we do in school involves google drive but what happens when Bing releases the same thing but better. Then everyone shifts to that platform and all of the data from google is abandoned.
