E.g computers, Wi-Fi routers, tvs, consoles. All these items malfunction every once in while and all I do is turn them off then on again to get them working again. Why?
In: Technology
There are many reasons, but this is the main one: Humans think from start to finish, they can’t help it. So computer programs (which power all those devices) are written with this “start to finish” view. At the beginning, everything is usually pretty easy. After a while with some decisions and stuff it gets complicated. So the farther you get (which means the longer you use a device), the more likely it is somebody lost track of something and there is an error. But if you restart, the device (program) comes back to the start again, whjere everything was nice and easy.
I would even argue this applies to every system humans develop even mecahnical ones.
