Cascade Failure.

The article discusses problems caused by specialization and obsolescence in technology. The author uses the concept of cascade failure, in which one technology failure triggers a series of increasingly large consequent failures, to illustrate the potential effects of small changes to a product or ma...

      ab: The article discusses problems caused by specialization and obsolescence in technology. The author uses the concept of cascade failure, in which one technology failure triggers a series of increasingly large consequent failures, to illustrate the potential effects of small changes to a product or market. Topics discussed include batteries for hearing aids, ink cartridges for printers, and specialized format devices such as DVD and CD-ROM disks.
