If change is the only thing...

If change is the only thing happening in life and you're constantly trying to create something new, make changes and adapt to changes - all your energy is spent only on change management. You have no energy for the deeper things in life. It's no surprise that the same people who predicated the future are failing to catch up with it.

Particularly disheartening are the last lines.

"On a very personal level for employees of these companies, it's an odd time. Many, particularly early employees, were there when their innovations and more-affordable products displaced the last generation of big tech companies. Now they're on the downside of that cycle.

"Every emotion imaginable plays out," said Patrick Gelsinger, who worked at Intel for 30 years and is now the chief executive of VMware, a company that makes software used in cloud computing.

"Some folks are hoping to retire and their 401(k) is big enough," Mr. Gelsinger said. "Some are disheartened because they couldn't figure out how to adapt. Some are still putting their heads down."
