Ch-ch-ch-changes – and why they are good!
“Technology changes defeat our presumptions. To serve as IT professionals,
we need to keep ourselves free of preconceptions. The knowledge we work the
hardest to gain is the knowledge that new technology will inevitably
supplant—because replacing that knowledge is what makes the technology
easier to use. We can’t leverage that arcane knowledge as our competitive
edge forever. The real edge lies not in the accumulation of aging facts
about how technology used to work, but rather in the ability to master new
concepts and techniques. By continually learning, making learning part of
our routine, we hone those skills. With the vast array of new products
endlessly coming down the pike, learning must remain our way of life.”
