Windows has announced they are thinking about launching and introducing Windows 8 in 2012. It seems as though Windows has come out with a new update every two years or so like clockwork.
When I bought my laptop a little over three years ago, it came with Windows Vista. Since then, they have come out with Windows 7 and now they are thinking about Windows 8. I had just bought the computer after XP was considered outdated. So within four years, there has been four software updates and operating system changes to the PC community.
This is an example of things becoming harder because of technology. People will now have to devote more time to learning a new operating system rather than keep using their old system they are familiar with. I am positive that the new system will have upgrades and make certain tasks easier, but I don't think the new system will make drastic changes that will totally affect the operations. I think staying with a consistent method of work would allow people to stay more efficient and also allow for more information transfer since others would be using different systems.
There could be a situation where there are four different people working on something with four different operating systems and software systems. This could lead to lost information, changed information or other miscommunication.
I think this is an example of technology changing too fast and not bringing with it necessary upgrades to encourage change.
