Getting Out of Bed…

Well, it’s Sunday, and I had to get up early this morning to help out a client with the taping of a sunrise service. Not something I usually do on Sunday. Oh, don’t get me wrong. I LOVE to get up early – in the afternoon, that is. But the event is nearly over now (I’m writing this on my iPad) and I can clearly see the advantages my early-rising friends boast of. I have the rest of a day I might have slept through, and I am fully awake. I am not sure what I will do with it, but at least I know I won’t be playing catch-up.

It kind of reminds me of the two attitudes most of us have toward changes in technology. Some of us are early risers, who want to get the slings and arrows behind us as soon as possible. Others would rather wait until technologies have matured, and they know which way the winds of change are blowing. In this case (as opposed to my attitude about the dangers of getting out of bed early) I am one of the former. It may be painful at first, but once I have learned about them, I have the rest of the technological “day” before me, open to doing whatever tasks I may choose to do with what I have learned.
