Why do you need to press so many buttons to start a plane? Can’t there be just one button to start everything in sequence automatically?
In: Technology
It’s not just planes, most computer systems, factory plants and vehicles which are not made for the end user are a lot more complicated to start, maintain running (flawlessly) and shut down then a car.
As an example I can talk a bit about my work in a candy factory. The plant to produce the candy slurry has an estimated learning time of 6 months, and then you’re barely qualified to start it and shut it down, if nothing unusual happens. The process from the point of powering the controls up (pressing the power on button, so to speak) until everything is set for regular use takes about an hour.
There’s a similar gap in user accessibility between home owned PCs and servers used for companies and specialized tasks.
