Murphy's Technology Laws
#1 You can never tell which way the train went by looking at the track.
#2 Logic is a systematic method of coming to the wrong conclusion with
confidence.
#3 Technology is dominated by those who manage what they do not understand.
#4 If builders built buildings the way programmers wrote programs, then the
first woodpecker that came along would destroy civilization.
#5 An expert is one who knows more and more about less and less until he/she
knows absolutely everything about nothing.
#6 Tell a man that there are 300 billion stars in the universe and he will
believe you. Tell him a bench has wet paint on it, and he'll have to touch to be
sure.
#7 All great discoveries are made by mistake.
#8 Nothing gets built on schedule and within budget.
#9 All's well that ends...period.
#10. A meeting is an event which minutes are kept and hours are lost.
#11 The first myth of management is that it exists.
#12 A failure will not appear until a unit has passed final inspection.
#13 New systems generate new problems.
#14 To err is human, but to really foul things up requires a computer.
#15 We don't know one-millionth of one percent about anything.
#16 Any given running program is obsolete.
#17A computer makes as many mistakes in two seconds as 20 men working 20 years make.
