The thing that I hate to hear most is that "Things will never be (fill
in the blank) so why change?" That is the biggest cop out I've ever
heard. If this were true, then why do we do anything in life? Why do
we make new laws, review the rules of golf every few years, make a new
motor design for the next model year automobile? Because change can
IMPROVE things. Things may never be perfect, but through a series of
improvements (through CHANGE), things become much closer to perfect.
Just because something doesn't solve all of the problems, doesn't mean
it isn't an improvement and it isn't worth while to implement it. If
change weren't worthwhile, all of us engineers would be out of jobs,
since cars, computers, etc. work just fine now. We all have jobs
because things can be changed and improved.
And remember - "Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine."
