Abstract
Many mature technologies,1 accompanied by ever improving and automated processes of production, brought about an increasing availability of different specialized systems and sub-systems that provide specific functionalities, such as wired and wireless data link connectivity, data storage, analog/digital signal processing, encryption. In addition, in order to benefit from hardware and software reuse, the specialization of such systems is often achieved with corresponding control software along with various libraries or APIs. In fact, today’s software aspect is so pervasive that even systems that have been traditionally mechanical in nature, such as automobiles, are integrating more and more control software to optimize such things as fuel consumption, cruise control, or sensor data processing.

Notes
- 1.
Constant advancements have been made in fields such as mechanics, electronics, and manufacturing that have ramped up their respective industries.
- 2.
As point in fact, the technological feasibility of modern personal entertainment devices can be tracked back to more than a decade but, at the time, the average person would hardly want to spend a whole month’s earnings for such a gadget.
