The more convenient something is, the less resilient it is to any sort of damage or change.
If something – an object, a process, whatever – is very easy to use, even streamlined, then chances are good that when it breaks, it really breaks. Yeah, that iPhone is real sleek. But you can’t fix it if it breaks.
Things that are clunky and inconvenient are also often resilient. A key component of making something convenient is hiding all the moving parts, so you can’t get at the things that need to be tweaked when the whole process goes belly up.
So be careful; a little inconvenience is good for you.
