Time to come into the 90s

I apologize for not writing in a long time. I've had family illnesses, Mom going into nursing home and all the financial items that come along with that...things like that. It's not an excuse, it's part of life. I asked myself, what is important to me...there was no contest, it was family.

While real-life has gone on personally, work-life has continued, too, since I like to eat and live indoors. One of my biggest pet-peeves that has been affecting me is people are stuck in "the way we've always done it." It's really just fear, the new way of doing things may affect their job, may affect the bottom line, they may not really understand new ways of doing things.

Have you ever thought where we'd be without evolution? Whether you believe in Creation or Evolution (I personally believe in Creation but we Evolved from there) businesses, business practices, business methods evolve. That's why some business that don't change with the times die-off (ex. Braniff air-lines and Remington Rand Typewriter company) and others change, evolve and continue to thrive (IBM and Harley Davidson Motorcycle company). People in all businesses need to learn to change and evolve or die off. People within the business need to evolve to keep the businesses evolving.

The people who are stuck in the 70s and 80s need to come into the 90s or their businesses will stay in the 70s and 80s. They need to change but I wouldn't want to push them to fast by trying to get them to come into the 2000s.
They need to evolve, try to get up to date in their thinking,

New ideas need to be tried, at least ideas like Object Oriented Programing (OK, that's not new but it is to them), Agile programming, using ASICs and FPGAs. At least get past vacuum tubes and transistors. All this is not magic, it's just evolution, or coming into the 90s from whatever decade you're stuck in.

It is a disservice to the people who work for the less evolved, too. If you want to compete in this world you at least need to be involved in this world.

I don't know how to get these people up to date, or even close to up to date, but for the businesses sake and their sake, it needs to happen.
