Back home in South Carolina CB radios were in every pickup truck as they were used while hunting deer. These days they have smaller handheld radios that go much further and since they are portable they allow you to walk away from the truck when needed.

I guess the longer you have been married to a particular technology the tougher it is to let go. The old man probably dreaded the thought of building a new business full of new customers with a newer updated technology. I see parallels with the coal and oil industry as well. So much infrastructure has been put in place for both industries that it's hard for a country to walk away from even when there are better alternatives available.

This is a good reminder for us all that even we (the early adopters) should spend some of our research time looking for new advancements as well beyond crypto. If we become too involved in the present day tech we may miss the opportunity to adopt the next big thing that is on the horizon.
