Ok so the look of my hotmail account has changed and the hotmail people probably think it looks really cool, and it can do a whole lot more stuff and they’re feeling pretty pleased with themselves.
Well, take a moment people, and listen up. I don’t like it. I don’t like the way you just change stuff without asking me if I want it different. I don’t like the fact that I’m stuck with your changes. I don’t like the fact that you assume change is good.
It’s not just hotmail, but every service provider who dances to the tune of change.
My cable provider wrenched me off the old system of getting TV channels through, ahem, a cable, to getting them through a set-top box. And with the new system came new charges – for the same channels that I got before as part of my package. So I pay more for a change I didn’t want….
I’m paying more for changes I didn’t want across all parts of my life now. You are too. It’s called the economic crisis, slowdown, crash, recession whatever. The finance industry pushed governments around the world for change: oh, why don’t you let us run things, the market knows how to govern itself, no need for you to bother with all that tedious stuff. And the governments bought it. And now here we are. Because change wasn’t automatically better.
Take note, hotmail. It’s a new world out there – and the biggest change is that change isn’t as cool as it once was.
