Language Evolution
I started programming in assembly, moved to Pascal, C, Object Pascal, Object C, but then I got to Smalltalk. I found that each of the other languages could be learned in a day to a week, but Smalltalk (really OOP) took people from 3-6 months to really "get it". When C++ started getting pushed as the solution (and it really is for some kinds of work) it's selling point was that you could still program in C for now and pick up on OOP as you go. I have always wondered if many C++ people I know never really "picked up" OOP. Many of those same people have moved to Java and C# and they still never really "got it".

Thought for the day
One thing I have learned from aggregators, it is amazing how we can shape what we percieve the news to be based on what we look for. Makes you think about who the aggregators are for the real news media.
