Steve we all have to adapt and adopt. We adapt to different circumstances and then adopt new ways of achieving things. The big danger that stagnates the production of new things is "comfort zones" We all to a certain degree work in our own little comfort zones. We should all strive to try out new ideas try to learn different things. Whether it is learning to play instruents, or utilising the new digital technology available, or collaboratiing with others we should all expand our horizons to encompass things that we may feel are alien.
Do what you do is good but it could be so much better if we try to learn to do what we presently cannot do.
