Age of information technology

There is no boundary in what we can learn. The common logic that experience comes with age can still be true to certain extent but wisdom and knowledge does not adhere to the rule anymore. When we are dealing in IT, people with 10 years experience might know more things than a person with 30 years experience. This is because the whole process is constantly evolving, the old software and technology available 30 years ago is no longer the same now. Heck, even software and technology 10 years ago is already outdated. In other fields, it might be possible to learn at a much slower rate once we have completed our education, but it in IT, there is no such thing as pause or rest. Hiring an employee who has stopped working in IT field for year is as bad as hiring a fresh graduate. Learning process is a liability to the company, heck, we don't pay our employee to learn, we pay them to work! Of course it's bonus if they can learn and work at the same time.
