Aesop's TRON and BOLT

TRON vs BOLT

A Tale of Hi Tech
TRON: I am faster than you.
BOLT: Let’s race then.

At first, TRON ran fast. Then his LED display failed.
While he was fixing it, BOLT vaulted past.
BOLT was almost at the finish when his lithium battery failed.

Bruce on his bicycle pedaled past and beat both of them.

Moral of the fable: Prepare for the Return to the Analog World.

Squeezing ever increasing numbers of smaller electrical components onto PCBs is leading to ever increasing failure rates in cars, computers, and cameras.
