There seemed to be a gradual shift away from liking shiny tech for the sake of tech to just wanting tools that help accomplish bigger goals. Nobody cares about the brand of saw you use, they only care about the quality and craftsmanship of the furniture you build.

Challenges & opportunities? Stay away from IBM since the cokeheads there seem to think anyone over 40 is a dinosaur, and quit buying their products. Most other places seem just fine to let you work till you're 90 if you so desire. The career tree is the same as 30 or 25.
