hI,
THE MAJOR CHANGES IN SOCIETY BRING WAVES OF DESTRUCTIVE BEHAVIOR AMONG VARYING COUNTRIES.
Usually the most destruction comes out of the societies that have resisted change the most. They haven't kept up and new changes bring more and more frustration, alarm, and inconvenience. This TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE IS NOT AN EXCEPTION. IT HAS BROUGHT A LOT OF RAVAGE TO VARIOUS COUNTRIES BUT NONE MORE THAN IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND AFRICA WHERE CHANGE HAS BEEN LITTLE OR NONE.
EVEN IN PROGRESSIVE COUNTRIES LIKE AMERICA, THE CHANGE AFFECTS EVERYONE IN SOME WAY. IF THERE IS SOMEONE WITH A COMPUTER THAT HASN'T CUSSED AS IT TODAY, THEN IT'S BECAUSE IT ISN'T BEING USED. THE RATE OF CHANGE ON COMPUTERS IS PHENOMENAL AND MAKES THE FOLKS USING THEM FRUSTRATED, ANGRY, AND BEWILDERED. IS IT ALL NECESSARY????????????? DOUBTFUL, BUT THEN THAT IS THE UNDERLYING DIFFICULTY WITH CHANGES LIKE THOSE HAPPENING IN TECHNOLOGY. TOO MUCH HAPPENS TOO FAST FOR THE PEOPLE TO ACCEPT AND LEARN.
MACHINES, WHETHER WE LIKE IT OR NOT, ARE JUST FASTER, MORE ADAPTABLE AND IN SOME CASES SMARTER THAN PEOPLE. AND THEY DON'T APPEAR TO SUFFER EMOTIONAL PROBLEMS LIKE FOLKS UNDERGOING THE RUTHLESSNESS OF ONGOING CHANGE OF HABIT AND PAST LEARNING.
AS YOU MAY KNOW THIS BLOGGER DOES A LOT ON THE COMPUTER AND AT MY HOUSE IF YOU DON'T HEAR ME CALL IT VARYING NAMES AT LEAST TEN TIMES A DAY, IT MEANS THIS BLOGGER IS SLACKING OFF !!!!!!!!!!
JUST THE CHANGES REGULARLY ON MY BROWSER THROW ME FOR A LOOP SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK. THOSE HARMLESS UPDATES, THEY TELL YOU TO INSTALL, GRACIOUSLY DUMPED "MY DOWNLOADS" THAT WERE NEAR "DOCUMENTS" FOR YEARS AND PUT THEM IN "FAVORITES" WITHOUT NOTICE IT TOOK A WEEK TO LOCATE THEM. AND THERE'S NO ONE TO SCREAM AT OR BLESS OUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JUST A HARMLESS, HEARTLESS PIECE OF MACHINERY. RIGHT !!!!!!!!!!!! PUH..........LEEZE !!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOAN ME A HAMMER !!!!!!!!!!!!
SO, THIS BLOGGER CAN CERTAINLY RELATE TO THE CHANGES IN OTHER COUNTRIES WHERE A SHOVEL COULD BE REPLACED BY A MACHINE THAT REQUIRES INSTRUCTIONS TO DIG A DITCH OR AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE REPLACES THE POT OVER THE FIRE AND REQUIRES INSTRUCTION TO HEAT ANYTHING. IT MAY SEEM AN EXAGGERATION IN OUR CIRCUMSTANCE BUT IT'S NOT NECESSARILY SO MUCH OF A STRETCH OF IMAGINATION FOR OTHERS.
UNFORTUNATELY MEN LOVE GADGETS EVEN MORE THAN WOMEN AND SO IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG FOR THE MEN TO FIND OUT THAT BOMBS COULD BE AUTOMATED EASILY WITH MACHINERY AND THUS FAR AS USUAL WEAPONRY HAS GOTTEN A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF BENEFITS FROM TECHNOLOGY.
HOWEVER, IF YOU HAVEN'T INSPECTED THE NEW CARS (BOYS AND TOYS) IN A FEW YEARS, YOU MAY BECOME ONE OF THE "TERRIFIED CHANGE MOTIVATORS" BECAUSE THE TECHNOLOGY HAS INVADED THEM PERMANENTLY.
THIS BLOGGER HAS A FRIEND WHO BOUGHT A NEW CAR LAST SUMMER AND WHEN SHE LEFT THE FROZEN NORTH TO MAKE THE TRIP TO THE WARM SOUTH, SHE NATURALLY HAD THE HEATER ON. WHEN THE WEATHER BEGAN TO WARM, SHE HAD NO IDEA HOW TO TURN THE HEAT OFF. NATURALLY, SHE MADE A PIT STOP BUT THAT DIDN'T HELP COOL THE CAR AND THE MANUAL WAS PACKED AWAY. SHE FINISHED THE TRIP WINDOWS OPEN, HEAT BLASTING, AND FEELINGS OF CHAGRIN. TECHNOLOGY GOT HER NUMBER AND PUT THE HEAT ON !!!!!!!!!!!!!! LITERALLY.
CHANGE CAN BE A WELCOME VISITOR, DON'T GET ME WRONG. THIS BLOGGER HAS ACCOMPLISHED A GREAT DEAL BECAUSE OF THE COMPUTER AND TECHNOLOGY. ON THE OTHER HAND, IT CAN ALSO BE A BURDENSOME VISITOR.
A SMALL BURDEN FOR SOME, AND A MONSTER BURDEN FOR OTHERS. THE YOUNG ADAPT QUICKLY AND CHANGE QUICKLY. THEIR NEW PLAY TOYS ARE NOT THE SAME AS OURS WERE AND THEIR HEALTH MAY OFTEN BE AFFECTED.
EVENTUALLY, THIS WILL BE THEIR LIFESTYLE AND THEY'LL WONDER WHAT THE OLD FOGIES ARE BLAT TING ABOUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FOR THE OLD ADJUSTMENT IS NOT MUCH IN THEIR FAVOR SINCE THE HABITS OF A LIFETIME REQUIRE CHANGING. FOR THOSE OF WORKING AGE, WHERE THE COMPUTER HAS BECOME A NECESSARY TOOL, IT CAN BE VERY FRUSTRATING AND STRESSFUL TO HAVE TO WAIT ON TECHNOLOGY'S WHIM.
AND GUESS WHAT ???????????? THE COMPUTER IS JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG. !!!!!!!!!! AND THAT ICE BURG HAS YET TO REVEAL ALL ITS CHANGES AND CONDITIONS !!!!!!!!!!!!! SOME MAY SEEM ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING SUCH AS THE DRONE (A FORMER TOY) NOW A MAJOR BOMBING DEVICE THAT WILL CHANGE WARFARE !!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND THE UN PILOTED VEHICLES YET TO BE RELEASED COMPLETELY WITH UN PILOTED PLANES THAT CAN FIGHT EACH OTHER IN THE SKIES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OVER YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD ????????????
ALL OF THESE CHANGES ARE WHAT CAUSE MUCH OF THE WORLD TO BE IN CONSTANT TURMOIL THESE DAYS MUCH LIKE IT WAS BEFORE WWII WHEN THE MACHINE AGE WAS JUST REALLY COMING INTO ITS PRIME. IT IS THIS BLOGGER'S HOPE THAT THE TECHNOLOGICAL TURMOIL DOES NOT EMBROIL ALL OF US IN AN EVEN MORE DASTARDLY CONFLICT IN A FUTURE IN WHICH MACHINES WILL FIGHT MACHINES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUT OF COURSE THE DAMAGE WILL OCCUR NOT ONLY TO MACHINES THAT CAN BE REPLACED) BUT PEOPLE AS WELL (WHO CAN'T BE REPLACED).
RECENT PLANE CRASHES MAY BE PART OF THE TECHNOLOGY CHANGES AS PILOTS FRUSTRATE TO LEARN NEW TECHNIQUES (OR DON'T) OR THE CHANGES TO THEIR AIRCRAFT. ASSEMBLY LINE FOLKS MAY BE USING NEW TOOLS (PERHAPS USING THEM POORLY) OR NEW MACHINES TO MAKE CHANGES IN AIRPLANES OR CARS OR OTHER TRANSPORTATION TO FIT THE NEEDS.
CHANGES MAY MATERIALIZE IN PEOPLE'S HOMES, THEIR WORK PLACES, AND MYRIAD OTHER LOCATIONS SO THAT THE FRUSTRATION MULTIPLIES. SHOPPING BECOMES AN EVENT IN THE HOME ON LINE RATHER THAN IN STORES SO THAT SURFING THE WEB IS REPLACES SURFING SHOPPING MALLS.
THESE SEEMINGLY HARMLESS STRESSES FROM MULTIPLE CHANGES CAN LEAD TO FRUSTRATION, DEPRESSION, OR WORSE SO THAT AN OUTWARD MANIFESTATION MAY BE SHOOTING OR STABBING OR THE LIKE INSTEAD OF SIMPLE ANGER !!!!!!!!!!!!!
WE ARE SEEING ISOLATED DESTRUCTIVE BEHAVIOR AS WELL AS ORGANIZED DESTRUCTION FROM COUNTRIES THAT ARE FEELING THE CHANGES MOST DEEPLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TECHNOLOGY SOUNDS LIKE SUCH A HARMLESS WORD UNTIL IT IS APPLIED TO MASSIVE CHANGES IN LIVING ALL OVER THE WORLD. THEN IT BECOMES NOT SO MUCH HARMLESS AS A DEBILITATING INFLUENCE ON ALL OF US.
SO DON'T LET THE KIDDERS FOOL YOU. TECHNOLOGY HAS A DETONATING BLAST THAT AFFECTS US ALL. GOOD LUCK WITH THAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CHEERS, CONNIE
