The Entropy Death of Software: A theory - all software systems get progressively changed until the cost to change them becomes too high, and then they're touched as little as possible, causing them to race towards being very expensive to change.
Eventually, they're left in place, and treated like an appliance you need to switch off and on every once in a while to get working again, like the office fax machine.
