I'm not trying to knock, or attack. The fact that image exists (amongst many) is because of the resistance to change that exists in many areas of life.
A lot of people push back at change, whether that is in the workplace, technology, leisure, sport etc....
Why do we do that? One reason is fear. Another is the reluctance to move from what we are comfortable with.

Underlying this reaction is quite often the fact that we simply don't know what the alternative is like. We have no experience to draw on, so no real comprehension of how good or bad it may be compared to what we already know.

Quite often, those resistant to a change are called 'dinosaurs'. This is typically from someone who hasn't experienced the previous version(s) of the subject matter, so don't have the prior comfort of understanding the pros and cons.

This is seen across a lot of threads in this forum currently.

But, change is good. Moving to something new allows you to learn from, and eliminate the weaknesses of what went in the past. Everything we like about what we have/had, was at some time a change. That change was probably resisted with just as much passion.

The worst thing we can do (IMO) is to accept what is now as being what will survive. If we like what works in 2020, it will inevitably start to lose its appeal over time for others, as things around it move on.
