it's not useful to me - how could it be useful to anyone else?!?!?! #allaboutme - holly #ravingfangirl

LOL, Holly, exactly. :D - Scoble, Alex Scoble

Good straw man. Shows you being ignorant of what I actually said. - OCoG of FF, Jimminy

Except it's not a straw man at all, Jimminy. That's exactly what Johnny is doing. I'm sure he's trying to be funny, but not really succeeding. And once again, this is not about you. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

I mean, come on, Jimminy, you aren't one of the people getting left behind, you are one of the people leaving others behind you. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

Alex, but for the OP the same could be said about the negatives of a technology or product. The individual doesn't have to be ignorant to the benefits to still decide not to use it. - OCoG of FF, Jimminy

Alex, possibly, but even if I was I don't care. I'm always going to be left behind in some fashion, even if I'm leading in others. - OCoG of FF, Jimminy

Wait. So, this isn't related to the fact that Adobe isn't selling physical copies of their Creative Suite anymore? :P - COMPLICATED MR. NOODLE

I'm not ignoring the benefits. Believe it or not I have 3 exceptional use cases for the technology... but I'm not slobbering over it with froth'd mouth like this will change everything. I get the passion, I don't get the blow back cause I don't share that passion like I'm somehow missing the point or a luddite. Technology won't save us, our proper use of said technology will. Blind faith in technology is misguided - Johnny

I'm not slobbering over it either because A) it's too damn expensive B) not particularly useful to me yet 3) my brother in the shower iiii) racecar. If you at least have the vision to see where this technology could lead, then we really have no quibbles. The great thing about technology is that it usually works regardless of whether you think it will. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

Well except for all those attempts at perpetual energy. - OCoG of FF, Jimminy

Those worked as expected regardless of what the inventors thought as well. :D I guess it's all a matter of perspective. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

Love this! -> Alex: "3) My brother in the shower." - Mary B: #TeamMonique

That some people find a technology or product beneficial does not inherently make it beneficial for everybody. - walt crawford
