Old Versus New (again)
This is another piece about the snobbery of technology.
The way in which every next application is seen to be the best thing, or at the very least better than before, and that it is superior by virtue of being younger, is quite weird.
It has been estd. with windows vista that this is not true. But for the most part we continue to believe the myth. In fact we even believe that vista will one day live up to the hype, even I do.
What I don’t understand is why.
I mean to a geek who spends his whole day online, perhaps the difference between internet explorer 6 and 7 is obvious, but to someone who just uses the net to check mail, he really doesn’t get it.
I mean how does it make a difference when I type, Dear Mother, if I’m doing on either one. Yet when I sign in, the mail server will dutifully, and almost scandalized, inform me that my machine is using a version of IE that is now obsolete. What is more irritating that that is my friends telling me that IE itself is obsolete, and anyone not using firefox or the new rosy cheeked baby, chrome, is old enough to be dead.
Even as I post this using IE 6, I bet, some one please explain the difference!
