Creo que la mayoría de las personas asocia la palabra nuevo a mejor, pero en los asuntos de la globalización y de las competencias del mercado eso es más que cuestionable,vean por ejemplo la sustitución de sistemas operativos tecnologicamente superiores por esa chapuza cerril que nos venden guindous. Existen desde los 80 del siglo pasado sistemas manejadores de archivos muy superiores a la porqueria que nos vende guindous bajo el membrete de alta tecnologia, de hecho a guindous desde hace mucho que se le aplico el mote de la mala secretaria.
Lamento comentar a alguien de aqui que la tecnología de video Beta es superior a VHS pero no se trataba de tecnologia sino de negocios, de igual forma elcodec de audio OGG vorbis es tecnologicamente elmás avanzado pero a quien le importa si en la tele nos dicen los mismo del WMA que es el futuro.
Honestamente es un reberendo tonto el que corre a comprar algo nuevo que "necesita" solo porque el que lo vende, o el sistema en que se vende, dice que es la décima maravilla.
De todas estas tecnologías lo más sabio es esperar a ver que es lo que pasa, y de ahi ver cuales la opción más inteligente en todos los terminos.
Acuerdense de la famosa revolucion verde en que acabo, o de la alta frutuosa cancerigena.

Aqui lespongo algo respecto a beta y vhs
But, the fact remains, Sony and the Beta format were aced by JVC and
its VHS videotape format. What did Sony do wrong? Beta is considered
by many to be the superior technology. According to some, Sony goofed
by not offering its videotape technology to other manufacturers.
However, according to urbanlegends.com, Sony did not, as so many
believe, try to withhold their technology from the competition. In
fact, according to James Lardner, author of "Fast Forward: Hollywood,
the Japanese, and the VCR Wars" (1987, New American Library), Sony
offered to license Beta to JVC and Matsushita in 1974, but JVC
(otherwise known as Victor Company) didn't like Sony's "overbearing"
attitude, and wasn't that impressed by their technology, believing
that what they (JVC) already had in development was going to be
superior.
Further, according to urbanlegends.com, JVC released their video
technology, VHS, to the market in 1976, having given Sony an almost
two-year head start. With that advantage to Sony, how did VHS ("video
home system") manage to flog Beta? The answer will continue to be
debated, but there appear to be three primary reasons: (1)
unsuccessful, but disruptive, legal actions by Universal and Disney
Studios in the late 1970's which named only Sony (one of the costs of
being first to market with a groundbreaking technology), (2) the lower
costs of VHS in the late 70's (as much as a $300 advantage to the RCA
version of the VHS technology at one point), and (3) according to Gene
Callahan of the Ludwig von Mises Institute, failure by Sony to
appreciate the advantage in consumers' minds of extended taping time
versus reduced tape size (simply put, consumers didn't mind using a
slightly larger tape in order to get twice the recording time - two
hours for VHS against one hour for Beta). If you'll pardon the pun,
when it came to recording time, Beta was not Max.
As you probably already know, as the momentum shifted towards VHS in
the 80's, so did the preponderance of prerecorded tapes. The more VHS
pulled ahead of Beta, the more tape suppliers wanted to produce
product for the VHS technology (which was also licensed to and
marketed by Hitachi, Mitsubishi, Sharp, Matsushita, RCA, Magnavox,
Sylvania and Sears). Naturally, as more tapes became available for
VHS, the more consumers leaned toward that format. The whole thing
simply snowballed.
Let's take a simple example: digital audio tape (Dat). Get someone to compare Dat with a humble C90 compact cassette and they will find Dat to be technologically superior, especially for recording music. However, if you consider "the whole product", Dat is vastly inferior for most people most of the time. This is why people still buy millions of cassettes, while Dat has virtually disappeared from consumer use.
en sintesis, en este mundo es siempre mejor lo que se vende más.
