With the end of the year coming up, I was recently asked if I had a preference for my 2014 calendar for our office order. My simple response of “HTC One max” seemed to cause a lot of confusion. This isn’t surprising, since the idea of carrying around an 8.5”x11” paper calendar confuses the Hell out of me…how do I sync one of them with my laptop, anyway? There are still people in my office who insist on carrying them around, however. They are usually easy to recognize; they are the ones who can never find the phone number they need in order to call the person that they missed the appointment with.

Some people are simply resistant to change. These newfangled gadgets just freak them out. They want the tried and true, old school products…and it doesn’t matter if they are slower, less efficient or simply can’t do what they need them to do. Many people feel this way about SSDs, especially in their notebooks. They have had mechanical drives for years, and they feel they are good enough and that the cost of an SSD upgrade isn’t justified. However, if you let them use a computer with an SSD for a week, then give them back the mechanical, they will suddenly see the light. Now, with SSDs increasing in storage space and dropping in price, there really isn’t an excuse not to make the move.
