The signs are mounting fast. What's less certain is where the new direction will take us. Let's hope for a redirection toward people and away from money, because money is still in charge today.

If I am to recognize a pattern in the generational pattern it is that trends can go only so far. Exponential growth always runs into resistance. Just think of the potential breeding of rabbits: the predators are out to eat the cute little bunnies.
People who have seen tech as an exemption from the worst that Corporate America can do are finding harsh reality the hard way. There are younger competitors with freshly-minted STEM degrees who have learned something more. In time everyone becomes a fogy and someone can run circles around him. So one goes from tech to something not so cutting-edge. My brother went from high-tech involving objects of high-value added per unit of material to the concrete business; concrete has one of the lowest ratios of value-added to mass of almost all objects manufactured.

Yeah, in regards to work there is the possibility of one's formal training, and skills/experience, becoming outdated.
Hopefully, though , an old fogey will have some wisdom to offer regarding life in general.

Yes, when it comes to work, there is a possibility that one's formal training and skills/experience may become outdated.
