Technology transitions usher in new software, but the older technology may exhibit a resurgence or “Last Gasp” before it goes under.\u00a0 A “Last Gasp” is a valiant attempt to revitalize a technology that appears to be reaching the end of it’s useful life.<\/p>\n
A recent example of one such technology that might be nearing it’s last gasp is the standalone GPS devices like Garmin produces.\u00a0 They produce a lot of differing devices, but the consumer level products lit the in car navigation are being impacted immensely by the GPS enabled Smartphones.\u00a0 iPhones, Droids and the like have fully enabled GPS turn by turn directions that make the Garmin’s less needed.\u00a0 Why buy a single purpose device?\u00a0 Garmin is now trying to produce GPS devices that also make phone calls.\u00a0 Too little, too late?<\/p>\n
The reason I bring this up is that I was wondering if CAD is experiencing it’s last gasp.\u00a0 AutoCAD has been around for over 25 years.\u00a0 The CAD industry has begun the long promised move the better 3d Design tools like Revit and Inventor and Civil 3D.\u00a0 Is AutoCAD finally near the end of the line?\u00a0 Will there soon be little need for “drafting” tools that focus on 2D?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
