One of my biggest complaints about many large businesses is their refusal to change and innovate, choosing instead to cling to their old fashioned technologies, controlling the market and insisting that consumers continue to purchase their antiquated products.

Take gasoline automobiles for example. The gas engine that we use now is essentially the same basic technology created over 100 years ago. Tradition may work for baseball, but there’s no reason that we shouldn’t have cars that are fundamentally better by now, if at least in terms of their fuel system.

The consequence is a industry that dramatically contributes to the polluting of the world. It also ties us to a natural resource with many negative political and economic consequences. Other fuel options have been shut down by political forces invested in keeping the status quo.

This would be like businesses hearing about fax to email technology but deciding to stick with their fax machines. Why would you stay with an old system that isn’t as good? But this is what’s been forced upon us by the auto industry.

So throw away your fax machine with pride. Buy a hybrid. Do what you can to tell producers that we live in a new millennium and expect products to match the times.
