yes, that is why people change their web sites and TV stations change their 
programming.  It's also why people have affairs and take vacations and buy 
pets.  Most people like change over time and things that break up the 
monotony.  There is no grand scheme behind it to brainwash you or take 
advantage of you.  It's growth, evolution, revolution.  These are good 
things.  To hold to your argument, KDE3 should never have been done.
