The world forgot how to effective use hardware capabilities
 Why

Education: 
- Too influenced by large SW IT vendors
- Focus on slow high level languages
- Lots of development paradigms which don’t help (OO, …)
- Basically we created our own layered complex ecosystem of software tools

High Tech Startup Companies:
- Rewarded to execute on a painkiller approach (easier to improve a single pain point area, in stead of going to the root cause & reinvent all)
- Market does not like radical changes, as startup it could be too risky.

Large IT Companies (IBM, Dell, …)
- They get their technology mainly through acquisitions.
- These acquisitions are expensive, 
- they need to be integrated & return their investment cost.
- This results in hundreds of layers on top of each other.
- Politics: easier to build layer on top of other layer in stead of rewriting the stack.
