Are You Adaptable?

I thought I knew what being adaptable meant, being open to change too but then I picked this up from an essay that accompanies the current MoMA show; Design and the Elastic Mind.
“Adaptability is an ancestral distinction of human intelligence, but today’s instant variations in rhythm call for something stronger: elasticity. The by-product of adaptability + acceleration, elasticity is the ability to negotiate change and innovation without letting them interfere excessively with one’s own rhythms and goals.”
That was written by Paola Antonelli. The full essay can be found here.
