How to turn jeans into an evening dress
Software is a wonderful thing, it solves all problems. No money in your account? Simply choose from the hottest loans online. Wanderlust? App's the way to go! Lonely? Fall in love again every eleven minutes. Is that too exhausting after a few days? Develop a yoga program tailored to your needs. Can't find your stuff in storage? Are you going the wrong way? Are you delivering the wrong items? Put in some good software and everything will run smoothly. With a good WMS (there are some!), even the last fool can manage, they are even easier to use than the iPhone.
Software even solves emissions problems in cars. Do your actual emissions values not match what's in the papers? No problem: just put a CD for 49 euros 90 (don't worry, your car company will pay for it!) in the glove compartment and everything will be fine again. It's called an upgrade because the software fixes the mess it caused before: it corrects - somehow - the dyno emissions trickery. Definitely. Which immediately makes you think: why not do it this way? But that's another topic.
"Falling in love again every 11 minutes can be quite exhausting. Software solves that too."
What software can do! Turns the last soot slinger into a blue angel! I'm already looking forward to the next coup: Maybe someone has software in their desk that turns a diesel freighter into a sailing ship? Turn a diesel locomotive into a solar-powered tractor unit? An old diesel forklift truck into an electric industrial truck? And what does it do with a truck? The excavator? Or the diesel jeans? An upgrade to an evening dress? And, speaking from my own experience after work: If the child hits its knee, just play new software over it and everything is fine again? Absolutely! I promise! At least until the general election.
