Google chrome and software overload can destroy creativity!

If you simply watched the social networks you would think that Google Chrome, the browser to kill all other browsers, was the biggest thing to ever happen… ever. And, it well might be, it may well revolutionise the way we browse these here internets and even pave the way for a complete change in the operating system of choice for many. But…

… and here I insert another apology for a lack of updates…

… how much time is lost in our creative journey through trying out the latest and most advanced pieces of technology? Let me rewind a bit. For several reasons I haven’t updated recently. I haven’t been well being the primary one, but also I have been spending rather too much time setting up a new laptop that I bought.

Creative people tend to search out the latest ideas and gadgets, and then spend time trying them out. Actually most of the time is spent tinkering with them rather than actually using them. This is what I have been doing. Instead of using the software that I had been using and getting on with that, I have been searching for other programs that may give me just that little bit more.

There is nothing wrong with getting the best software for the job, but be careful not to lose precious creative time by looking for what you don’t really need. And to sign off I leave you with the unanswered question at this time, do we really need a change in the way we browse the net :)

  1. Precisely what I vented on this morning on Twitter. I’m not against advances, but I don’t believe in change just to change. I always resist updates till I find out they hold some value to me and my work as a book designer and layout artist.
