The argument I would have with this is that trying to predict what's going to happen in the future has been shown (by the problems we're discussing) to be effectively impossible
I was at a meeting concerning EFA in 1988. The subject under consideration was the moving map display. Should it be north orientated or track orientated? If the latter would it be necessary to realign the text to track orientation? The display would be limited to 16 colours.
Move on a couple of decades and for virtually pocket money you could buy a pocket GPS, plenty of colour, track up an option and text automatically oriented.
Do you freeze with obsolescent technology or hand in there and try and keep it at the bleeding edge?
