When I see a notification on my computer,<\/span><\/p>\n

I am compelled to address it.<\/span><\/p>\n

than fixing problems?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Don\u2019t you want to modernize yourself?<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t you want to fix your problems?<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t you want to cull vulnerabilities?<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t you want to make yourself more secure?<\/span><\/p>\n

What can be less harmful than adapting to new methods?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Don\u2019t you want to be fulfilled?<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t you want to thwart attackers?<\/span><\/p>\n

I see a software update, and I am excited\u2014<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0that I can experience something better,<\/span><\/p>\n

Have a better experience with a product than I previously had,<\/span><\/p>\n

That things can only get better,<\/span><\/p>\n

That I can be more up to date,<\/span><\/p>\n

That I can better myself without doing anything,<\/span><\/p>\n

That I can improve myself with a single click.<\/span><\/p>\n

I can feel meaningful\u2014\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

that something I use is being improved.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m not left behind.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m better than people who haven\u2019t updated.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m up to date.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m current.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m unstoppable.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
