Boring is Good.

In the tech world, boring is good. Think about it, the computer used for the first space launch had less computing power than the smartphone in your pocket. That's right that little rectangle in your pocket can send a man to space, amazing isn't it?

Well actually it's not. It's actually boring. While rocket scientist could have used our phone's computing power to send someone to space, we use it to launch birds at green pigs. Our phone has become something as common as sand on the beach, and sands on the beach is boring.

But boring is good, it means that we have reached a point of advancement with technology, that we can find advancements, that a decade ago would have been a miracle. This is good, we have become bored with technology advancements and that just means innovators and entrepreneurs have to try even harder to excite us, and we see in currently in our environment. From meatless burgers, to being able to travel the whole world without ever leaving your living room. My only hope is that another decade from now, we also find this boring. Because boring is good, and its good to be boring.

Apple's WWDC 2016

What pains me after Apple's WWDC were the reporters and journalist being congratulating Apple and being amazed at what they introduced. With buzz words like "runs faster","new UI", "integration", it makes Apple seem like and entrepreneur trying to get funding for his startup.
"Look my company has an amazing UI that allows integration of Apps and helps them run faster." Ok maybe the pitch is not exactly like that but this years WWDC Apple sounds very similar to that.

It seems that Apple, known for introducing the world to the smartphone, a company that is known for it's innovation is at a stand still,  a mid-life crisis, in which Apple is trying to show the world that it is still the hip, young company you wished your company was, but it can't fool anyone.

Changing up its messaging app to have everything that WhatsApp, FB Messaging, WeChat already have is not innovation, it is an attempt at relevancy. Now by no means do I think Apple will ever face a sad decline like that of Yahoo, but I would compare Apple's future to that of Microsoft; yes you still have to use their Office Suite, but thats about it. Apple has become boring for many because it has stopped growing, and lack of growth, no matter how many billions you brought in last quarter is a death sentence for a Silicon Valley company.
