This is what will bring us to out knees - Embedded Systems
Subject 18990 No one thought about these guys until 2-1/2 yrs ago!
IMPACTS:
 Transportation
 Utilities
 Telecoms
 Manufacturing
 Medical Devices

5% embedded systems will fail - which 5%? ... No one knows.
25 billion of them out there. Electrical engineers need to fix - NOT programmers.
EACH has to be tested or changed-out ... individually ... one by one!!
Not enough electrical engineers. Not enough time.
When will people start waking up, and DO something about this?
