How can people cope with the stress of technological change?

1. That's a great question. I too get stressed beyond description sometimes changing passwords so many times and for so many different programs. I work as a federal civilian employee. We have to have passwords for so many many many different programs. They have to be changed every 90 days. They have to be 10 characters long and comprised of at least two of the following........upper case, lower case, numbers, symbols. And the new password can't have any of the characters that were in the last. I have to keep a confidential book with my passwords so I don't forget. Yet I stil have to reset sometimes. I use breathing techniques to cope with stress. Also much exercise as it releases the body's own stress reducers.
