Erm, isn't Geek a teenager? He's a little young to be an "old-school traditionalist", don't you think?
Didn't he "push the envelope of new technology" by trying the RME PAD in the first? So he changed his mind, it's just one opinion, no need to take it all so personally and seriously. Although, it is a *little* curious how a product that can be raved about a few weeks ago, can suddenly be found inadequate thanks to a single CD... Then again, it goes to show the hazards of posting initial impressions, they always change in some way. At least Geek was brave enough to come back, take the heat, and say he changed his mind. That deserves a *little* bit of respect, don't you think?
They do it because it is easy, they are falling back on old-school, traditional values, while users like us are trying to push the envelope of new technology. This is how it always is, whether in social values, technology, etc. Innovators are easily attacked because they have broken off from the status quo. The majority or traditionalists, think that because they have been right in the past, they will continue to be so in the future, regardless of what reality says. Some wise up and adapt. Others go to their graves full of self-reinforcing ignorance and backwardness (like people who think car seatbelts are stupid). |
