The simple things that catch you out

I regard myself as someone who reacts to change well and as someone who is constantly changing the way I do things.

So why am I being so useless at adjusting to a Bluetooth headset for my phone?

I keep picking the phone up rather than sticking the ear piece in.

I keep forgetting to switch it off when I’m not suing it. I phone home on it the other day while it was in my shirt pocket. Which means that Sue knew I had been shopping.

I keep holding the phone in my hand while using it.

I suppose it all goes to show that our brains are wired a particular way and changing that wiring isn’t always easy.

Perhaps us IT folk should be a bit more tolerant of users reacting to new software.

I must say, though, that I don’t think that the Bluetooth stuff has quite got there yet. The phone doesn’t always reconnect the headset when it’s turned back on, nor does it always react to button presses.
