Unique Ideas

I get so entertained by the notion that people today in software development think they are the first one to come up with a unique idea.  It's amazing how this society can recycle the same ol crap time and time again and the people doing the recycling truely believe they are the first one to have that idea.  As I observe people in my field, I'm flabbergasted at the arrogance they show as they attempt to convince the world that they are the originator of an idea.  Whatever.

I remember when I first started my career out of college.  I remember thinking to myself that the people who had been there for years were dinosaurs and their ideas simply were not relevant anymore.  Geez, what a fool I was.  So much of what they did in their days has just been continually re-invented under different labels and "cooler" marketing efforts.
