The four stages of man are infancy, childhood, adolescence, and obsolescence. - Art Linkletter
Obsolescence never meant the end of anything, it's just the beginning. - Marshall McLuhan
"Perhaps it is this specter that most haunts working men and women: the planned obsolescence of people that is of a piece with the planned obsolescence of the things they make. Or sell." - Studs Terke
"The worst thing that happens is skills obsolescence. That will get you out of your job quicker than anything else that you can imagine." - Richard Bayer

Sorry to get all heavy but I believe this, doesn't mean its true, but I contemplate this idea and so far its held up.
