Maybe accelerated change is due to to 2012 and the Mayan calendar, but everything just keeps changing faster and faster. We now know for a fact the galaxies are accelerating as the universe expands and eventually there will be no stars in the sky, no constellations.
Apple introduction of products and new operating systems appears to accelerating, so the end of the world must be near. Just as I thought technology was easier and more friendly I find that Lion no longer supports and Power PC applications, which means that most of my old habits and comfortable ways of working are dissolving into the abyss of time. I feel very much like my students who are just beginning their journey through technology: I did everything right, but nothing works!
So right now I straddle two universes of practices, but like the constellations they are racing away from each other faster and faster, leaving me in the middle of nowhere.
