I don't understand why people are so against new technology!!

As an IT Manager and a business owner of a webhosting and software design
company, I am anything but scared of the new technology. I get excited when
anything new comes along. Is it all because we NEED it. Heck no. Do I need
to be able to talk to my house to tell it to turn on lights, shut garage
door at 10 pm, switch to camera view on TV when someone at the front door,
etc? Nope. Is it fun and interesting. Sure is. Does it make certain things
easier....yeah. Am I so lazy that I need to talk to my house no. Its new
technology and I embrace it. If you are not interested in it, you aren't.
Some people just don't get that.

Whenever someone posts about the new panels, we always have people posting
about how the old stuff is so great. and making sarcastic posts like the one
I am replying to.

No where in the article do I see them say the old guages are horrible and
don't work. So why defend them. All they are saying is that there is
something new. Simple as that. If you don't like it, don't use it

Flight plan is gone (did you save it to a memory location or just use the
default).... pilot hits FPL button, changes to list page, hits cursor
button,
scrolls through the existing flight plan list looking for the one he was
flying... hit enter. "activate flight plan?".... hit ENTER

So is this a lot of work?? More work than doing a manual flight plan??
Hmmm??? From the sound of that paragraph it looks as though the person did
not know the system very well and thats why the flight plan is gone?? Hmmm..

Looks like dials & needles are finally going the way of the dinosaur.

Flying along, go to flip the pitot heat on but hit a bump (and thus the
master). Oops. Master back on.

Steam gauges: Instantly back on.

GPS: self test..... display database date disclaimer (wait for pilot to
press
OK)... ask "set full fuel?".... wait for pilot to key in the actual
amount of
fuel left (or more likely, just hit ENTER)... acquiring satellites....
acquiring satellites.... acquiring satellites.... Ok, moving map is on.

Steam gauges and cockroaches will outlive all of technology.
