Paradigm shift is easy for no one. This one seems to be especially difficult because it moves between the digital natives (those who grew up with personal computers) and the digital immigrants (those who learned the technology later). One hopeful thing - authoring tools seem to get easier and easier to use, while still allowing great levels of creativity. This might speed up the shift once everyone feels some level of comfort with the process of creating multimedia.
