Another possible vector to this discussion is that everyone here are OTP's, as to the vast majority of the population, we make computers work and build stuff that other people can't or don't want to build. Now I think we should all keep our eyes out for new tools that make our OTP lives easier and more productive, but learning new stuff just for the sake of learning...sure, maybe, IF you don't have any other interests outside of your technical life. For example, I play guitar and compose electronic music...there are simply no where near enough hours in a day to not only work a paying job to finance my lifestyle, but to practice and produce music. Something has to give.
