LO Netters,

I think that coping with constant change, as discussed in this stream, is
certainly increasingly common. But I am not sure that it is the change
that is the issue for many people so much as it is a control issue. Many
folks cope well with constant change in their private lives - buying new
models of home appliances or entertainment devices or fashionable clothing
- learning new sports or games - and so forth. But these are more often
their own choices.

Could the question really be how to help people feel some control over
their own change processes?

I keep wondering what we did in the USA during the last fifty years of the
last century when the pace of significant change was actually far greater
than now. Think railroads, telegraph and telephony start, conversion to
steam in boats and gas engines in industry, first 'skyscrapers' grew
cities vertically, and on and on.
