Not everything can be the next big thing...

For me is both funny and irritating seeing how every time a new thing comes our way, it is touted as the best thing since sliced bread or that it would bring forth doom and death to all.

To be honest, the things that were true game changers tend to not come along all that ofter. And they don't impact every one the same way. Those things that have a really wide impact are even rarer.

For me it's even more annoying when what ever certain companies, or individuals, do is shown as if it is yet another game changer. Come on, let's be honest and realize that while we can expect good things constantly from those players, not every thing they do can have high impact.

We should learn to take things with more care. The truth is that even though the last hundred years have seen mayor changes in the way humanity lives, not all has been as great, or as bad, as many want to believe.

Its important to realize that each one of us needs to find what fits to our wants and needs.

Just because something worked wonders for someone else, it means that the product or service will be useful for you. Or, just because it didn't meet the expectations of someone else, it doesn't mean that you should avoid it.

When we are looking for whatever we need at that moment, we should head to the voices that are knowledgeable in what we are looking for. Those are the ones that can give us the best guidance, or advice, in what we are looking for.

So, let's keep out feet on the ground and have our heads cool.
