I'm the “Old Man of Staffing and Technology," but I am not ready to kick back and retire. Since 1965, I have been playing the trade in the technology world as a computer operator, computer programmer, systems geek, manager, headhunter and now chief visionary. I still love coming to work everyday. When I punched my first time-card Chad computers filled rooms and could only do one thing at a time. Read a card, print a line. I’ve watched computers become miniscule with incredible power. I’ve watched old guys like me who knew how to program in machine language (zeros and ones in their lowest form) be transformed and replaced by youngsters who speak funny languages like .NET and Java. We were excited when we learned structured organization for code, and now we are passed-object oriented into stuff I don’t even know the name of. I Skype people all over the world for free, and I can text just like my son. Not as fast, and I don’t know all the shorthand, but, hey, I am the old man after all. Regardless, the pace of change is so great that if I kicked back, just imagine the fun I would miss. So here I am, and here I’ll stay, until the good Lord comes a callin’.Contact:Email George Black
