Quote - The complexity of everything is rising exponentially to the number of baby boomers approaching retirement age ... speaking as one that falls into that category, software installers and renderers will eventually be the equivalent of a flashing "12:00" on the VCR.
DAZ Installers? More and more clicks as they mature. Adobe Creative Suite? almost 4GB of files and a gazillion options to check or uncheck when you install ... with little explanation of what those options do. 3D Rendering? Not just Poser, they're all complex ... as materials get more advanced there is a lot more to consider. Answering machines ... don't get me started on answering machines.
And remotes. We have a basket full of remotes for TV, sound system, cable box, you name it. Bought ONE remote that controls everything and I can't figure out which darn buttons to push.
ARGH, I'm getting too old for this!
LOL -- well, as an advancing quasi BB myself (I ws born on the cusp of the generation), I dont quite agree with all of that, but I will grant you there's a lot of BS in things like the CS, stuff that I'm sure is useful to someone somewhere -- just not in my studio, thanks very much.
Remotes? Sorry, I watch my TV online, so I dont need no steenkin' remote. See? There are some advantages to modern technology. :)
