Introduction

This is a blog about a philosophy I have related to technology products.  Below are some terms in popular use used to describe technology. Among these are the following:

Bleeding Edge Technology - is a category of technologies so new that they could have a high risk of being unreliable and lead adopters to incur greater expense in order to make use of them.

Leading Edge Technology - It is almost always used to describe the best; not necessarily the newest.

I would like to propose new category of technology.  However, it seems somebody has beaten me to the term.  Perhaps I unconciously read it on his blog.  Oh well, no matter, great minds think alike and all that.

Trailing Edge Technology - category of technologies/devices that one can only judge at the best by using the passing of time as a guide.  This may include technologies which failed commercially but that lie dormant until such time as they are recognised for what they are.

I would also like to propose that that these technologies should exhibit a characteristic known as AntiFragility which is a term invented by Nassim Nicholas Taleb.
