Today’s Blog Post
Here is to Change – Bring it on – I love it
I am sure that it is a sign of aging. Change bothers me. I don’t
hate change, it just leaves me uncomfortable. Just about the time that I get
used to something, someone comes with a new idea.
I hear my friends, both young and old, muttering in that things
change and it bothers them deeply.
Facebook is that way for sure. No sooner do you get a handle on
what is happening and then they change the whole thing again.
This Blog, as part of Blogger.com, has just changed the whole operation
behind the scenes. To publish this Post on this Blog I had a whole new set of
parameters to consider yesterday. Oh Boy! Change.
Then to top it off one of my favorite Internet Browsers – “Chrome”
by Google has changed as well. The change has not been good though. I cannot
see certain things on the screen when I try to publish through Chrome. So I have to go to my Mozilla.
Now for some of my friends the words I just used make no sense at
all. If I ask them how their Browser is working
or if they have ever tried Chrome – they look at me like I am nuts or from
another world. They have no idea what
Mozilla is or why they might try to user Blooger.com. Too darn funny actually.
They are older folks and have little idea of what has changed
without them knowing it.
Yet old doesn’t mean totally that you don’t like change.
Give an old guy, that has no idea what Mozilla or Facebook is
about, an opportunity to buy a new 2012 Toyota Prius Hybrid and he will jump at
it I am sure.
Now mind you if the car that he bought kept changing as he drove
it from A to B… he might be a little frustrated I am sure.
Today I am sitting at the same table at my McDonalds. I arrived at
about the same time and will leave at the same time. I have answered my emails
and written my story. I have published to two Blogs already today. My life is pretty steady right now.
The guys across from where I sit at McDonalds had to move over to
new seats. The regular seats that they sit on were being sat upon by someone
that doesn’t belong there. They must have come from outside the area. It kind of ruffled their feathers a little
and they had to squeeze into another area.
Yet change is good for me. It requires me to use both Long and
Short Term memories. And I am convinced that if we don’t need short term and
use it less by refusing to entertain new things – we will lose it faster.
Whoa – Lincoln.. yesterday you were complaining about the closure
or KP? What about that? Isn’t that like resisting change or something?
Nope. Making decisions that
are driven by a one sided attitude that will not change.. that will not bend
and that will not consider the possibilities from other points of view… is not
good at all.
Changes made for the good of the whole of society is not the same.
When it is made because you are always right and no one else knows as much as
you do… it is wrong. The dictator thinks
that way.
So I have accepted the changes to Mozilla, Chrome, Facebook,
Windows, and all the other things that pas through my life.
Here is to Change – bring it on – I love it.
Sheesh!
