Spotted this interesting quote, today.
Change - technological or otherwise - simply for the sake of change is really just so much time and energy wasted. Time in one's life that will never be recovered. And - chances are - any promised efficiency will deliver a lot less that the vendor claims. Not all tech is like that, of course, but far too much is.
Windoze10 is a great example. You'll get the latest and greatest and also all the malware and spyware that microcrapt has embedded in the operating system without telling you.
And you thought the technological upgrade was for your benefit!
Silly!
The unspeakable has become the inescapable in today’s world. It’s become a running joke on the Internet that the word “upgrade” inevitably means poorer service, fewer benefits, and more annoyances for those who have to deal with the new and allegedly improved product or service.
The same logic can be applied equally well across the entire landscape of modern technology. What’s new, innovative, revolutionary, game-changing, and so on through the usual litany of overheated adjectives, isn’t necessarily an improvement.
It can be, and very often is, a disaster.
