Which are you? Most fall into one or the other category, at least in spirit. I have seen my fair share of curmudgeons. In my tech ministry, I love newbies! They are so full of energy and enthusiasm; it makes ME feel better. They are healthy for a growing ministry, asking questions, keeping you on your toes.
So what about the grumps? Sure they are difficult at times, but... they CAN be useful for more than a door stop, or seat warmer. They also keep you on your toes and ask questions, albeit for a different reason.
The curmudgeon may have been doing tech stuff for a long time, most likely before speakers were invented! We didn't NEED a sound system in the '60's. Or they may only have been doing it for a few years.
The goal is to keep your newbie spirit even though you've been around long enough to be a curmudgeon.
