Star Wars

During the failure of this system patients would wait hours for an ambulance to turn up, and in some cases they just did not turn up at all. Not only did I consider what users really want from their systems during this time but I also thought about the term 'mission critical system' in a new light and wondered;

'would you like your life to depend on your systems?'

And then I thought;

'would you like everyone's life to depend on your systems?'

....and it was at this point that I felt very glad that Ronald Reagan’s 'star wars' initiative had been abandoned.
