Is "Good Enough" Really OK?

In this month's issue of Wired magazine there is an article that appears to glorify the idea of Good Enough Is OK: http://www.wired.com/gadgets/miscellaneous/magazine/17-09/ff_goodenough. While the author makes some interesting points about how the digital revolution has democratized media by creating technology that allows everyone now to be a movie maker and published author, he seems to, in my opinion, border on being giddy about quality no longer mattering in these areas and so many other areas of our life, that professionalism and quality are passe' and unhip. I wonder about this especially in the context of safety training. When you're providing training that will keep someone from getting injured, even killed, on the job do you really want a training program that's just good enough because it's cheap to produce because you can get your local high school kids to produce it? Where do we draw the line? Are Professionalism and Quality passe', no longer hip? At what point is Good Enough not Good Enough? Or is that no longer a relevant question to ask? Dennis Wilcox
