What are we upgrading?
I recently upgraded my computer for work. I bought the latest 2020 iMac to replace my old one. The brand new computer has crashed every day since I began using it a few days ago. It even set a new record yesterday with 11 crashes.
Meanwhile, I write this blog post on my 2009 MacBook Pro. This computer hasn’t crashed in 11 years. It no longer supports OS updates or app updates. But that’s what makes this computer so reliable.
Everything is constantly updating—our phones, computers, watches, vehicles, speakers, lights, apps. Even our fridges need software updates these days. But what are we updating?
I’ve noticed a steady decline in the performance of my technology. Adobe’s software gets worse and worse with each update. The autocorrection on my iPhone becomes worse with every update. And when I upgrade my computer to 2020 technology, it performs worse than 2009 technology.
I feel like an old geezer complaining about the latest tech, but every step forward becomes a step backward in the last 3–4 years.
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. So what are we trying to fix?
I look at my life as one giant software update. I’m always trying to release the latest and greatest version of myself. But like technology, when do we pass the threshold of making improvements and start updating things, just for the sake of updating them? And is what we are updating moving us forward or setting us back?
Make it a great day or not; the choice is yours.
