Blog Entry: Triumph of the Nerds

Creating something from zero nowadays is a good challenge for an entrepreneur or even for a company, normally the products or software is created from something that existed before. On modern days the updates/upgrades take some time to get new features compared with the previous one and make a big impression on the community, also that helps to get more money to get for them and more to spend on their products.

When the products were introduced, their creators did not get the idea that they were creating the future or even were marking a great event on human history, if we talk about technological stuff like the computer these machines are the exact image of the future and the creation of something that was going to be necessary on the life of every person.

Also, one thing that is really impressive as a consumer or even for one person, creating something like that requires time and effort, but most of those people spend too much time looking for ways to innovate and create new things so the consumer can be satisfied with the result, but not all the time this work, sometimes the product did not meet the requirements or even the consumer satisfaction so they can become a failed test that needs to be forgotten or modified to get again that spark and element that makes the spotlight of the product.

On the other side of the story, it's important to try everything all the time not to stay with the idea until someone else shows it and you stayed with the question (what if...), these are risky business but at the end if they are well executed they can be a complete success.

Creating Windows or even Mac shows that even if you have a computing degree you got the talent to create (or to copy with different features) new stuff. One example that I won’t forget is the PlayStation Vita, the previous device the PlayStation Portable (a.k.a. PSP) was a very successful console, but then the PS Vita was a complete failure not for the hardware it was using but for the catalog the company provided to the console, that mistake created the grave for their most recent child.

As a conclusion we can see that nothing is written some stuff could be successful, others not, the idea needs to be executed correctly in a way that nothing is the same compared with other products that already exists, but at the same time be creative so the successful rate could be higher than a product that is only an upgrade/update or even a copy from another.
