Something I've observed as a programmer for the last 20 years: there will always be people who don't want to move on, feel like it's too tiresome to learn something new, and feel like their technology is all they'll ever need to know. It's striking how they'll have heated arguments defending their old dying techniques until their death or retirement. Throw a rock and you can hit such a person, just be sure it's not you. There's a funny and insightful book called Somebody Moved My Cheese, which covers this aspect of the ever changing world. The book only takes an hour or so to read and is quite charming.
