Sunday night I went to a friend’s house for dinner. He needed some help with some computer issues, and I owed him a favor or two. He’s very handy (I’m not) and has helped me out with some projects around the house.
While I was there, I went ahead and installed Firefox for him and scanned his system with both Spybot and AdAware. When I showed him Firefox, he wasn’t at all interested in using it…”Nah, I like my Internet Explorer.” I showed him the cool features like tabbed browsing, and told him that he should at least upgrade IE to version 7, but he wasn’t interested in that either.
Of course, he wasn’t interested in any of the other cool and free tools I had to show him either.
It is pretty amazing to me that even people my age (mid-30s) can be so set in their ways and resistant to change, even when the change is for the better and coming from a trusted source.
