Change Reactions
Some see opportunities. Some see obstacles. Some shout OMG 😱
These are a few of the usual reactions to change.
I’m seeing quite a few of the obstacle and OMG reactions flooding the inter-webs over chatGPI and AI in recent weeks.
And, I’m reminded of all the other times in recent history, and way back when, that something new or different was going to be the end of the world.
Internet
iPod (and then iPhone)
SMS
Kindle
Robots
And if we go back earlier,
Cars
Telephone
Television
Just to name a few.
When we stop and reflect on all of history, we realise that change is all around us. Yes, the bigger-shift changes might make the headlines, and we might take more notice than the slow-drip changes, but almost everything comes with elements of opportunity, obstacle and OMG.
And, if we want to be comfortable in our always-changing world, practicing an open and curious, considered and discerning outlook for the changes we encounter is a great starting point.
Where might you start to change your change reaction?
