But you are talking about what you perceive as _your_ field, not
theirs. The programmer's 'field' is writing code for accounting
systems to print out invoices and reports. The major changes there in
the last 100 years was the introduction of sales taxes.

Yes, they are. But some aren't listening because they really just
don't care.
Just because someone drives a 15 year old car, it doesn't mean that
they have to read the latest technical car magazines and read all the
reviews. Your car may represent, to you, the pinnacle of technical
development of fuel, turbo, and gearbox, and you may be planning to
get the next model because it has GPS or voice speed readout or
somesuch. To others it is just a box you get in at one point and get
out at the other with the least amount of money spent.
