I sat there for 5 minutes, staring at the screen.
My computer was working fine, optimized after 1.5 years of refinement. I should just leave well enough alone, right?
Yet, here I was, staring at the “Next” button…the one that would being the installation of Windows 8 over my Windows 7 OS, hurtling me into the unknown world of a new technology and about to commit to crossing the chasm from which there was turning back…but one that could involve hours of digging out and recovery.
I had been down this road before.
I had been to the abyss of data loss and non-working machines. Yet, each time, I had come back…stronger and better, feeling empowered that I had developed a stronger understanding of the underlying technology.
And, further, I was committed to forcing the creation of new neural pathways, getting me out of my “comfort zone,” convinced, like a junkie of technology, that the next thing would give me a bigger rush, reason enough to push forward.
And, so I did…
I pushed the button and didn’t look back, off on the next adventure.
How did it go?
A post for another day.
