I watched the Indiana Pacers playoff game this morning. It was recorded from last night’s game. I used modern technology to allow me to go to bed early and watch it later this morning.
The best way I can describe it is ‘explosive’. The game has changed from when I last watched a NBA game – maybe a year ago. The defense, offense, and pace of the game was surprising fast. Indiana exploded on offense. What used to take five seconds for a fast break is now 2.5 seconds. The passes, blocks, shots appear to be sped up by my DVR.
We humans don’t handle change well. We like to be told about it coming, then see it gradually approach, then we like to choose when to adapt to it, test it, then after a while of trying it out, maybe we will embrace it.
Or maybe we won’t.
Not today.
We don’t like to wake up one morning and find the world totally different than when we went to sleep. Image waking up to find the grass blue and the sky yellow? That would blow your comfort zone.
Change is all around us. Some changes we see coming, some we don’t. From the devices we carry around to the places we shop, it is constantly changing. One could look at it like quantum physics. As soon as you see it, it changes.
There are days when I just don’t like that.
