Jon Halsey: Progress used to be doing more with less The Phone Overlay - Jon Halsey states realization that all change is not progress Click on headline for complete commentary By Jon Halsey KNIFLEY, KY - At the risk of over using my oft repeated "Ole Fogey" phrase: Back in the day... - Progress used to me doing more with less. More output with less input, etc. Thanks to all that "Progress" we have now progressed to the point where we HAVE to do more to get less. Case in point: Back in the day... I would have been able to fill my 35 gallon truck tank for less than $9.00 Today it costs $125. Ah, you say, but look at the efficiency you gained! Right - at back in the day prices with available engines at the time I would have gotten 5 miles to the gallon and today I get 11. So I'm better off, right? Hardly,Back in the day prices and those engings equated to 5 cents a mile. Today's prices with the current engine equals 33 cents a mile. I don't consider a 600% price increase much progress to brag about. Like Ed, I'm neither a Hobbit nor a Luddite and I wouldn't part with my PC without bloodshed, but I am old enough and educated enough (thanks to the Old Schools) to realize that not all change is progress. --JonHalsey Comments re article 61001 Phone Overlay Change seems to make folks throw a Tizzy This story was posted on 2013-08-01 04:56:42
