I can often only remember bits and pieces of plots and characters from books I read now, not because I read them too fast but because my short term memory is starting to dwindle. I'm only in my 30s!

I believe that it is simply resistance to change. The main reason I say that is that there are a million protest groups that pop up every time a change in interface is made to facebook. After a few weeks, possibly a few months everyone grows quiet for two reasons. <br /><br />The first (and most likely dominant) is that they are used to the changes and have mentally moved on. In all likelihood most people couldn't tell you what it was like before the change after a short time. <br /><br />The second reason is that they know that their protesting is really just falling on deaf ears. I am sure there is a lot of money spent in usability and design studies to facebook to make their interface changes. Some people won't be happy regardless.<br /><br />Change is essential, it is important. The inability to evolve effectively can be seen in the exodus of people from myspace. <br /><br />I have another blog in the draft stage that deal with this sort a thing. Unfortunately it isn't funny. at least not yet.Dan Newtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02092635699523279386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1286599838682905322.post-83981977940418655162009-10-27T08:27:56.482-07:002009-10-27T08:27:56.482-07:00I was re-reading this today, thinking about the re...I was re-reading this today, thinking about the recent changes to Facebook.<br /><br />I can't really think in a penetrating way about these subjects any more or come to some amazing conclusion, but people's reaction to the new format is both surprising and really interesting.Shel Bowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16412340045216322165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1286599838682905322.post-38340563311820051622009-08-27T15:05:24.693-07:002009-08-27T15:05:24.693-07:00Funny read, Dan!Funny read, Dan!martynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09456561802672379967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1286599838682905322.post-44625445105747752222009-08-17T15:47:36.179-07:002009-08-17T15:47:36.179-07:00I love that The Smiths came up so quickly after ty...I love that The Smiths came up so quickly after typing in Last night I. . .<br /><br />And now after "Could I have this dance for the rest of my life" I really want to listen to Anne Murray.Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03784156641612874643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1286599838682905322.post-1670082268346905432009-08-17T12:02:22.078-07:002009-08-17T12:02:22.078-07:00That is amazing Danielle.That is amazing Danielle.Dan Newtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02092635699523279386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1286599838682905322.post-39843234374051530852009-08-17T11:58:12.717-07:002009-08-17T11:58:12.717-07:00I like when you type "Why are" and "...I like when you type "Why are" and "Why are there school" comes up...hahahaha.

A lot of my job was finding stuff on microfiches and printing them out for people writing theses, so I got to find out as they went what they were writing about.<br /><br />Like the guy who had me pull every single Little Orphan Annie strip ever printed from every major newspaper. His thesis was about how that comic strip in particular reflected American fears about the economy.
