Sistema anquilosado

Rita MccGrath escreveu recentemente este postal "The World Is More Complex than It Used to Be" que começa assim:
.
"It's not you — the world has become more complex.
.
Consider 1980. There was no such thing as a personal computer. The Internet and broadband connections to it were more than a decade away. You used film to take pictures, got them developed in a photo shop, and mailed copies to relatives if you wanted to share them. Roughly half of the 4.4 billion people on Earth were either so poor that they were cut off from the rest of humanity, or lived in regimes so repressive that no outside communication was possible. AT&T was the only telephone operator in the United States; telephony was just one of many high-impact industries that were highly regulated and protected from competition."
.
 E termina assim:
 .
"In a complex system, leaders have to rewrite their playbooks and re-jigger their organizations quickly.
 ...
Complex systems are unforgiving places for companies, and people, who move slowly."
.
Fez-me logo recordar as imagens de "A Terceira Vaga"...
.
Quanto mais o tempo passa mais o sistema fica anquilosado, obsoleto, pôdre...
