Every year brings with it many new technologies, but
not every one of these are able to make to the top. Some excel, some stay on an
average scale and yet others appear to be a blunder or total flop.
So, as the
New Year has already begun, here is a quick list of the biggest tech flops,
which 2013 faced, and these are in no particular order. Not everyone is a tech
failure, but some carry with them other reasons as well; like failure in marketing,
management or the conception.
- HealthCare.gov is one such tech fail, which experts believe need no comments and is a widely accepted truth. Commentators believe that this tech fail should take a spot 1 through 9.
- Twitter Music, this follow based music did not gain traction, most users don’t even know about the same and it goes similarly for Facebook Home. It’s a phone app suite to give users enhanced Facebook experience. The two have been clubbed together, as commentators believe that placing them individual will be like waste.
- Blackberry is another tech fail, which is going down at a very fast speed and saw nothing good in 2013.
- The Surface Tablet by Microsoft was another name on the disappointment list. iPad still appears to take the top position and many businesses still look at Microsoft for presenting a business tablet hybrid soon. Microsoft on the other hand believes to cover up for these shortcomings with the next generation Surface.
- Yahoo Email Outage was another of the biggest tech fails for 2013. The latest of such outages took place just few weeks back leaving most users without any access of their email accounts for not one, but several days together. So, if you too rely on this for your business emails, it’s time now to wake up and move towards something more reliable!
