#3- I would be pretty angry if I bought software that wasn't backwards-compatible. In today's world, where technology is always evolving and improving, it's obvious to that everyone will be constantly in the process of updating or upgrading their technology and while in transition, the need for backwards-compatible technology would be essential. ITunes, for example, is a company that is reasonable when it comes to backwards-compatibility. Although some features may not be available or may be slightly altered from version to version, I can still plug in my two-year old IPod into the latest version of the ITunes software and have it work perfectly. If that wasn't the case, I would either have to never update my software or worse, be forced to buy a new IPod every time a new version was released. I feel that backwards-compatibility must be integrated into the plans of the manufacturers every time they release a new product or new software. It is unfair for school systems and students to be penalized when they cannot afford for all of their software to be the latest version.
