If there is one thing that is both a good point and a bad point about technology, then it is the pace that things move at. It is great that don't have to wait years for a new version a new release a big change, it keeps things interesting. But at the same time it is bad, because those changes and releases make it very difficult for documentation, tutorials and training courses to be relevant and better yet available.
Sometimes it feels like you are indeed the mouse on the mouse wheel running around trying to keep up, but then also looking for those instructions that actually help you build mouse wheel 4.9.2.3.4. Is it actually something that is worth doing? That is the question that on some days does come up. Should we attempt to use these things because they are there, or do we let someone else take them on? But if we let someone else do them, then is it perhaps the case that we all sit there and want someone else to do them. Which then means that nobody ends up using them!
Yes new things are indeed great but we rely on outside companies not changing their mind between feature packs x and y as to the way things were done, and also that there is enough to get us going. And when we are stuck because things do not make sense we need someone to answer the question. We want the latest but is it always possible to deal with the pain, but if no one deals with the pain the issues in the latest never come to light. The company doing the producing thinks all is great, because hey no complaints and so continues on with what they are doing. While the people out there dare not use it because will it change, and can I make it work in the first place.
