New versions

Think Over It !

While working on various softwares  right from operating system like dos to windows 7, graphic packages like corel draw, Photoshop and even Autocad,  i hv started wondering whether these new versions or updated versions are really worth?

Yes , it is true that in many cases the users life has become easy
Take the case of MS- Word

Spellcheck , bullets,  paragraph formatting etc have really made the document management very  easy. But on the other hand it is stretching the learning curve for the user, One has to see the new features , try to understand their use and applying them to his benefit , take a lot of energy and time. Also you have to remember a lot of new symbols which are either different or non existent in previous versions. In fact some of the functions become more difficult to use due to added facilities / features. The new versions mostly add the symbols  for the functions , but i find the earlier menu based version more easy to use. The result is , you have to keep on learning all the time as a new version comes up after certain time !!!!!!!!!

This is not to say that new versions should not be made. Improvement has to be there, but it should be convenient rather than tricky. Important aspect here is creating / improving always  gives a challenge to the intellectuals and even creating jobs and a means of earning for them!!

so what is the conclusion?
