Not just IT. I've just finished reading a book called Understanding 
Uncertainty by Clem Malloy. Basic issue: we all seek certainty, but 
it's an illusion. Life is uncertainty. The best we can hope for is 
the personal (societal?) ability to accept that, cope with the 
continual change, stop fighting it, take advantage of it as it is 
happening and manage the risks that are bound to come with it 
creating more uncertainty. He talks specifically about technology and 
gives some examples of areas we have discussed on Link a few times. 
But it's not just IT that encounters this dilemma.

As for handwriting, mine now officially sucks.

Our truest response to the irrationality of the world is to paint or 
sing or write, for only in such response do we find truth.
