So there’s this video game I play. But I can’t just open it; I have to open the software of the company I bought it through, and then that software has to open the software of the company that makes the game, and then THAT software can open it.
And of course it all relies on a working internet connection.
That’s an awful lot of things that could fail and keep me from being able to play my game. Possibly forever.
And that’s before you even get into things like whether my computer is working or whether I have the electricity to power it or whether I am even still alive and able to play it.
So many things in life are like that. Totally dependent upon other things. A house of cards just waiting to be toppled.
