Ah, the Rich Building (for us GT people)

Back in 1994, I was rocking my 9600 baud modem, now it is a 20 MB connection that is wireless throughout my home, work, and my car and person if you include my cell data plan.

Back in 1994, we fingered, now we poke

Back in 1994, the world was my oyster as I was studying to be a computer engineer, now my job is being out sourced as fast my 20 MB connection. It is a shame I had to go non-technical to survive.

Tech Or Management Beyond Age 39? 592

relliker writes "So here I am at age 39 with two contractual possibilities, for practically the same pay. With one, I continue being a techie for the foreseeable future — always having to keep myself up-to-date on everything tech and re-inventing myself with each Web.x release to stay on top. With the other, I'm being offered a chance to get into management, something I also enjoy doing and am seriously considering for the rest of my working life. The issue here is the age of my grey matter. Will I still be employable in tech at this age and beyond? Or should I relinquish the struggle to keep up with progress and take the comfy 'old man' management route so that I can stay employable even in my twilight years? What would Slashdot veterans advise at this age?"
