Re: [ontolog-forum] Characteristics of a Software

["Vishesh Duggar" <vishesh.duggar@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

When software no longer fits the user's need, indicates that the needs of the user have changed. But does it mean that the software is unusable because of long or heavy use. Hence the initial definition that software does not wear out sounds correct. Because it doesn't matter how heavily you use the software it will never wear out.

I've heard that definition, but software does wear out. When it no longer fits the user's need, it is wearing out. Software, like everything else in the physical world, obsolesces over time.
