The Internet will continue to function just fine, just as it has for 50 years. It’s the World Wide Web that is on fire. Pretty much has been since a bunch of people who don’t understand what Web 2.0 means decided they were going to start doing “Web 3.0” stuff.
My experience does not reflect yours. Computer Architecture, Discrete Math (logic gate math), and Operating System Concepts were all required classes in my CS degree from just a few years ago.
Okay!
But that means you have to recite all the planets:
Betas outlived VHSs by several years. It wasn’t Betas that caused Sony to act like that with BluRays, it was DATs.
Rogue One was good because they knew it was going to be a one off and they felt comfortable taking risks. The same reason Halo: Reach is lauded as one of the better Halo games.
In my opinion too many franchises try to toe some line and end up falling short of expectations as a result.
They have already been trying.
