Don't be Milton!

There's a line that goes, "To a man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail". That's a serious risk in the world of technology these days because of how fast new tools and technologies come and go. We all have a favorite hammer, a technology or a language that we mastered a decade or two ago, and that got us our first job or a big promotion. Well, that's great, but we have got to learn to move on. There are new hammers being devised every day, and in today's world of technology, the surest way to fall behind is to keep clinging to your old favorite hammer. Think of Milton, the stapler guy from the cult classic Office Space. Never mind if you have not seen the movie or even heard of it. The idea is simple to flourish; don't just accept new technologies grudgingly; run out, and embrace them.
