    I'm not a dumb guy, lazy maybe, but not dumb. LOL That being said, I hesitated coming back because of having to re-register. It was very easy and I'm glad I did. My topic is one of many here's complaints of trying to figure things out. It seems like every time you turn around, technology wants to switch things up. I have to say, it drives me crazy and I wish the younger people would just get hobbies (like bowling, fishing, golf) and leave things be for just a little while.

    I can get comfortable in my ways too but, generally speaking, I am the opposite of you. I start getting anxious when things stay the same for a long period of time. I like novelty.

    The thing is, change will happen whether we like it or not. It's just a question of whether we refuse to accept it and get left behind like those Japanese WW2 soldiers in the Pacific who held out til the 1970's or whether we move with the times and stay part of the real world.

    Still, I hate it when they change the one way streets in the town I grew up in.

    I like to change my scenery and go different places when possible. The change I dislike is technological change. I am no spring chicken and have enough trouble with my computer and all the problems/viruses etc but when my windows 7 is working great and I know it well I hate having to switch to windows 8 and relearn an entire system when there are no benefits to me at all. That is the type of change I dislike.

    That's not laziness; it's pursuing things that you like. What's wrong with that?

    Absolutely nothing wrong with enjoying the things you do. It's called living and you have a life to live. : )

    Yes Dolfan that is great! Anytime I get off the computer, get out of the house & live life it is a win for me. And I finally found a kindred spirit who understands how I feel about technological change!!

    well I have an android which I find much easier to use than anything else only because I am somewhat used to it, but I'm sure everyone has their own opinions about what is easier and best.

    Change is and always has been a part of life. We adapt.

    for me I love challenges. Not physical ones but mental ones, I love to troubleshoot and kind of be a detective and figure out the issue.

    I don't like change like moving to a new house and stuff like that. I get attached to certain things.
     
  13. I think change makes ya smarter.

    If anybody's interested in change & time, be sure to look into the arrow of time, entropy & the second law of thermodynamics.

    I love change. I worked in a school district for 20 years. Out of the 20 years I worked at the elementary, middle school levels as well as in the Superintendent's office. I don't think I would have lasted 20 years in the district if I had not had the opportunity to change. I also love a challenge, with change comes challenge. Love it.

    I'm not a big fan of change either, Scott. I prefer paper money instead. :D
