I don't think it's change vs. death. At least it isn't as far as choosing what car to drive.
People accept changes, even huge changes, on what seems like would aid them is some way. That could be mostly or purely for social reasons (like getting what others think is cool). Or could be for practical reasons (like a tool that helps them get things done quicker or better).
The Amish and Mennonites don't accept changes because they believe there is no value or benefit in doing so, not because they can't handle them.
If change shock were a problem we wouldn't have jumped into vehicles, computers, the internet and social media so quickly as a society.
Invent one "cool" doodad and the next thing you know everyone wants one. The problem is making it cool in the first place.
