Ive had this thought for a while.
If humans ever go to other planets, its going to be VERY hard to keep software up to date without some serous thought and relay stations. The speed of light is a hard restriction.
Lots of devices are only designed for "always on" capability. What happens when its near impossible to "phone home"?
This is one of the reasons why I preach against Electron apps and the “storage is cheap” argument. Additionally, it may also be really expensive for people in 3rd world countries to buy storage.
