Dean, I would respond by saying, maybe yes, maybe no.
I used to think ‘don’t fix it’ when my old man would start tinkering around with a boat engine still under warranty and end up causing himself longterm headaches.
Then again, if you don’t think about fixing (for the future) what doesn’t appear to need fixing now (see media circa 1995), that’s another issue altogether.
This is at the heart of Clayton Christensen’s Innovator’s Dilemma: The core business is thriving. It ain’t broke.
But someone invariably comes into the market and breaks it for them with disruptive technology. That’s very hard to guard against.

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

Dean, you’re absolutely right, but you know Cooley has completely gone Luddite in the more contemporary style of social media. He believes it’s an ineffective way to reach his audience, and in that he may be right at the moment.

Ron, I think Rick is definitely among the Studerrati in our space!

Shouldn’t the always colorful John Cooley also get a tip of the hat? After all, he was doing social media for this industry WAY before it was called social media.

Brian,

Thank you so much for listing me with such a distinguished group of studs. I’ve been fortunate enough to have met each one of them, and each is an inspiration.

Can I nominate Rick Jamison as another stud?

I have known and worked with many engineers over the past decades. Social media does not suit them. Social media requires an element of exhibitionism, and engineers lack that particular gene. Over the holiday, my son (computer science guy) said he wasn’t going to put up FB or anything else, as he doesn’t want anyone stalking him online prior to interviews, during a long and secret software development project, etc. BTW, Lewis Black made some very funny comments about Twitter on TV tonight.
