That depends on the field, CS perhaps will always moving very fast. In
EE, some of the fields are not moving that fast. For example, analog
electronics engineer do needs a lot of years to get the experience. I will
soon go for a training and there are plenty of engineers there with 20+
years of experience in hardware/firmware. This is a big industrial
automation company. In this industry, Ethernet is considered quite new.
In fact, fieldbus technologies are all quite new.
