It seems that there is always something new on the horizon. New cars, new rules on dieting, new clothes and new ways to do the same thing we've done before. We debate the best smartphone on the market, the best smartphone camera, and rank the best new smartphones.
But what we haven't considered is that there are times that change isn't a good thing. I've learned that change may be the only constant, but that doesn't mean I need to participate in it.
And with the constant change, that means there are some things that shouldn't change. Or if they must change, maybe it's time to consider standing by the side of the road as all the racing cars go past.
In a recent article in The Guardian of London, Stuart Heritage opines about the rise of more and more technology and proposes that perhaps, standing neutral may be a better idea. The article can be found here and if you're interested in technology at all, it's an interesting read for sure.
Tomorrow there will be some announcement of something innovative and new. But is it really? And how important is it that we pay attention to it?
Can we agree that we may disagree on the best smartphone on the market, that we may have differing opinions of what is the best smartphone camera and that in the end, it's about opinion?
Opinion may be centered on fact and reason, or it may be volatile like emotion. Opinions may change, and that's a good thing. And that may be the only type of change that is 100% positive.
