Could this be a micro lesson for the rest of the technologically advanced world?

Things change so constantly, and so quickly in our world in this day an age. It’s not even limited to technology, but in simple policy and procedures too. The way it was supposed to be done yesterday isn’t the way it’s done today. (When was the last time you were ever sent to telephone prompts and didn’t hear “Please listen carefully because the prompts have changed.”) The frequency and suddenness of the changes just leaves people feeling off balance and frustrated, IMO. Also the changes often cause more problems than it fixes.

Both Wis.dm and AB crashed because of this very thing. Someone said, about AB, ”....but so many people were there for years (including myself) BECAUSE it was the way it was. In other words, they took a good thing and screwed it up in the name of “new and improved”.” and that is exactly what took wis.dm down. “Improving” and changing, and doing it all at once and destroying the site in the process.

Could this be any kind of lesson for us?
