Community Guy: Old tech is sexy too

  • John Stavely · 2 years ago
    Nice post! It's true that the latest tech is not always the greatest tech or the best solution. Just look at the UPS whiteboard commercials, for example. A simple, direct and elegant way to communicate using a marker. Brilliant! We become seduced by the shiny and new. We get criticized if we don't know the latest application or respond to twitter in 4 seconds. Meanwhile, most of us in the big, wide world are just trying to keep up with our emails and phone messages and get to the meeting on time. Need to take a breath and apply some critical thinking to our solutions. The best fit is the one that works.

    It does my heart good to read this kind of post because there are times when I wonder if common sense is dead. I'm glad to see I'm wrong.
