I'm keep this one short. I could probably vent for days on this topic. I remember when I used to play the clarinet. I had played ever since I was in elementary school.
During my later years playing the clarinet some time in middle school or high school I was participating in a regional event. I'll never forget when I was at rehearsal and I was playing on one of what I considered my golden reeds the Mitchell Lurie 4-1/2 Reed. I used my allowance to purchase them from the music store. The conductor stopped the band and looked right at me and I asked me to play my part and I did. Then he asked the young lady sitting next to me to play her part and she did. Then he asked me what type of reed was I playing on and I told him very proudly. Then he asked if I had a RICO 2-1/2 reed. And I was like yes I have a box of those in my case. He said play with the 2-1/2 because your intonation is way too much better than hers.
It took me a while, years, to be able to be proficient enough to play on my golden reeds. All my practice efforts I felt like where knocked down in a brief statement.
Lately I'm beginning to feel like that when it comes to technology related issues. There are people setting policy and procedures everywhere on a daily basis which impacts technology. I don't know a person or place which is not impacted this day and time by some form of technology or technological device. I could just scream at some of the legislation, policy, or procedures put into place recently in regards to the use of data from some portals. Furthermore, the policy and procedure in regards to the display of data you have paid to access on some sites.
I don't know a website designer or developer who sets up a site to not have it optimized to do everything they have had time to think up and implement. Most often there is a lot of stuff they want to implement but don't have the time or resources to do it all.
Well, then there comes a big wave of help from folks setting rules and regulations as to what you can and cannot do. I don't know whether to thank them or be upset that some of the pages it took me years to refine to a point where I am proud of I can no longer utilize.
Technology is a big ticket item. Look at how much some web portals have made and are making with the use of technology. People are using it. One portal brags over 350 million registered users.
I remember years ago businesses, organizations, clubs, any structured group would do a feasibility study prior to implementing new policies and procedures that would impact a major percentage of its member population. I'm just offering those who are looking to make technology decisions do a feasibility study to solicit feedback from your members as to how they feel the change will impact them.
The changes I have seen implemented lately in some mediums as far as technology makes me want to sit on my hands. What good is it to have the ability to create and implement dynamic, interactive content on a website if regulation, policy, and procedures over regulate what, when, where, how, and who you can and cannot utilize data.
Well I said this was going to be short and in actuality it is a lot shorter than the three drafts prior to this one. It only took less than an hour but I could vent for days on how not to hinder the efforts of others who use technology very well to pacify those who don't have a clue what a dynamic web page even is.
