Being slow to adapt to the latest thing can be an advantage quite often as the newest thing or method isn't always the best. Tried and tested can be a better strategy to follow I think.
here's a way life treats people unfairly
I think the Buddhist philosophy says we are all here for our own purpose. Whether that is karma from a previous life or just our current purpose, maybe we need to learn something.
Yeah, generally being slow can be seen and associated with a huge disadvantage, but overtime I've come to learn that speed has its own disadvantages too. So, there's probably advantages to all disadvantages and vice versa I guess..
