I believe that Dr_Davenstein has stated some wisdom!
Many people like to live in a status-quo world, where few things change. That's the way they like it. In fact, all people like a lot of things to stay unchanged, but, not all things!
Some people like to live in a constantly-changing world, where the cutting edge is "the place to be". Of course, they still don't want everything to change.
Since there are both kinds of people, plus a bunch of in-betweens in our real world, I say that we must accept that fact, and try to be at peace with all.
One thing: if it weren't for the people on the cutting edge, we would be living in a very bad world, probably back in the stone edge, or thereabouts. So, I applaud all leaders in new technology.
But, we must also applaud the many members of the status-quo group, who, by using the cutting-edge products, do help support the leaders in their constant quest for new knowledge!
