My resume used to say, "Proficient in Microsoft Office Programs", that's about as technical as it got.... I really hope I never have to put another resume together ever again.

Shit, dude. The languages I learned in college were Turbo Pascal and Fortran. This, despite the fact that Visual C came out the same year I graduated high school.

Now that I think of it, that might have a lot to do with my hatred of programming.

I work in sales for a large company. We recently had a regional meeting and the organization made it clear that their intentions are to eliminate paper contracts by utilizing customer facing ipads. 70% of us were thrilled (its about time) but there were the other 30 that were either idiots or near retirement and didn't feel like learning a new technology. I'm often amazed by some of the people I work with (some own large and successful businesses) regarding their lack of technological skills and even worse their flat out refusal to learn more. Some of them are relatively young. Life's going to get scary fast for these people.
