"moquez" ? Qui ? - moi ?
Let me give you a concrete and absolutely current example to illustrate the quintessential difference between 'modern' and 'state of the art':
I'm participating in this disussion through a 'modern' telecoms system known, in general terms, as 'broadband mobile'. Wow! - That's really 'state of the art', isn't it!
Errrr.... No, it is not. Far from it!
My data-rate through this supposedly 'state-of-the-art technology' only very rarely exceeds 8 kbit/s (that's with a following wind). In contrast, my connection in Belgium - 15 years ago - actually delivered 56 kbit/s. Now, that WAS 'state-of-the-art' (at that time). |
