Some people reject new technologies or techniques in the their field, especially when it suggested by the others. Sometimes they put obstacles in the way of it's use.
Had you faced such people?
Your opinions are appreciated.
There could be several reasons why some people reject new things, including new technologies or techniques in their field. One of the main reasons is a fear of the unknown or a fear of change. Human beings are naturally creatures of habit and are often resistant to change, which can result in skepticism or reluctance towards adopting new technologies or techniques.
Another reason could be a lack of trust in the new technology or technique, particularly if it is suggested by someone they do not trust or who has a reputation for making questionable decisions. This can also result in a reluctance to change existing processes or systems.
In some cases, people may reject new technologies or techniques due to a lack of awareness or understanding. They may be unfamiliar with the technology or technique and may not understand its potential benefits or how it could improve existing processes.

Thank you for your response.
I totally agree with you and even when we talk about high academic degrees, when they refuse to adopt a new technologies in education or management, or Data Processing.
Best regards
Hello, again, Dr Azzawi Hadi
I agree with the reasons given before. I would actually be less polite and would summarise it all as FEAR. I would just say these people are just SCARED.
Before I retired (2012), I was a nurse practitioner for bladder and bowel health. I used to do quite a bit of work with women with pelvic floor weakness which sometimes involved getting their pelvic floor muscles working by using electrotherapy if the muscles would not contract in order to be built up by exercises,
e.g. Bouallalene-Jaramillo, K., & Calvo-Sanz, J. (2023). Parameterization of electrotherapy interventions in physiotherapy for pelvic floor dysfunctions: a systematic review. Actas Urológicas Españolas (English Edition).
However, pelvic floor re-education took time and effort from the woman who needed my help. And there had been a new treatment made available that used mesh inserted surgically that many women saw as a speedier solution:

I had wondered whether it would be as good as it was expected to be and carried on with my nurse / physio options, but had quite a lot of women who rejected my offer of treatment as they wanted to improve 'over night'.
Later, when I heard about the problems incurred by the mesh, I remembered being a bit concerned about the mesh when it first became available. It seemed to have appeared and be used very quickly and I had wondered about it.
Not because it was new, particularly, as I like to hear about new technologies, but I had just felt uneasy.
