I have been following Bitcoin for many years yet I have not been very active in the discussion boards.  Call me naive but why cannot Bitcoin have realtime difficulty adjustments to keep blocks found around 10 mins per or at least a difficulty adjustment per block created (so roughly every 10 mins the difficulty is adjusted)?

Network hashrate is a statistical phenomena that only can be computed over time. You cannot measure it directly because you have no idea that anybody is mining until somebody finds a block. To adjust the difficulty you need to know the hashrate, which means that you need to measure the number of blocks solved over some period of time.

When I knew bitcoin, I felt it was complicated and difficult to use. The first time I was really depressed and did not use it anymore but gradually got friends help, I knew more about it.

How is this related to OP's question regarding block difficulty?

Anyway, network hashes vary greatly which can be caused by many things, for example as prices change people may migrate to another coin to mine which would affect total hash-rate. It is very difficult to predict and adjust realtime, and by using historical data you could only guess these conditions.
