New Profile

That's what I was asked to install . New profile of the website , new look of mail box , new order on the home page , improved of course . Do I want to install now or later ? That happens quite often to everybody of course , as people nowadays are involved on many websites . Recently I was asked by Google . A bit earlier Skype served me new version ,  You Tube too , and others .
 Why should I need new , better profil ? After some time it  will be probably the next ,  better one . Improved certainly .

It's like a new version of mobile phone . With new screen , menu and some new tricks to use . Websites changes the look of the profile regularly , but why actually ? To be competitive to others websites ? Because internauts get bored ? Imagine your favourite shops change the look of  windows every year . And put additional plate informing about opening hours or paint the window frame with a new colour .  It seems to me that shops , shopping networks build a long relationship with customers using the same symbols, colours, to be recognizable . Wherever you go in The World you would always quickly find Macdonald's . The same with " Kodak " network , for instans or popular supermarkets .
And  the newspapers . Readers reach out for favourite ones , just remembering the look of the front page .
Always when the website changes the configuration this annoys me . I have to again get to used to the new look and functions , which I barely would use .
Maybe that's view of traditionalist . Anybody happy with new profiles ?

Christmas frenzy

I had been enjoying the thought the Christmas and Festive time is ongoing . Actually , I am not especially fond on Christmas celebration . But this year I had had warm feelings toward this particular time . Till today . I was able to see another face of Christmas . Just last early afternoon ,when commuting. I started wondering when waiting for the bus, why to helll the car traffic was so busy and the bus late.In general a communication disruption was evident . What was the reason ? We have had still some ten days to Christmas Holliday . Nobody is leaving yet the town , nobody coming .Suddenly I realized- people were coming to do Christmas shopping . So did delivery trucks - bringing the stuff needed . And when I looked around , I could see many people were carrying big shopping bags . People had rushed as Christmas promotions had started , and to buy Christmas gifts .You can find everywhere these adverts ; in newspapers ,TV, on Internet .We have been bombarded from all directions by ads . I have read recently that 60 %  of  Scots had declared they would take bank loans to cover spendings for Festive time .

That simple fact made me feel a bit sick . What the Christmas ar - just blind chase for something we are sure is necessary to have , in order to have happy Christmas . Like Lemmings' urge to run in large numbers to unknown land . Isn't that sad ?
