I'm probably considered an "old guy" in the software world. But I realized a few years ago that there is little new under the sun. We get new names on stuff all the time; we get old concepts repackaged as "new." Data still must be organized and searched, transmitted and received. Instructions must still be transcribed and turned into something the silicon can use. The only differences are in the syntax. Sometimes, those differences are what we needed to make a breakthrough in comprehension of complex systems. Oftentimes, there's little difference.

I was once worried I'd be left behind. I don't worry about that now. Mainly because I've got the skills to grok the "new" and catch up. But also because "new" is just repackaging that research paper from 1964 into another package for $YOUR_FAVORITE_LANGUAGE.
