Jun 16 2011: Besides companies not wanting to take risks some companies stop some new technology that would make them obsolete. The best example is the oil industry. Every car and all the earth's energy could have come from alternative clean energy sources years ago, but we're still using gas in our cars. Some gas companies hold patents to batteries for electric cars that could go many times further and faster than current electric cars.

May 4 2011: Technology may progress at an increasingly quick fashion, but there is a road bump. Technological hardware: cell phones, computers, etc. can only be made so quickly and that is a problem since those products will be made obsolete at an increasingly fast rate.
