Status is a very dangerous thing. I've met too many people who make it a point of pride that they never take money out of a cash machine, people who are too good to have their own e-mail address, because that's for everybody else but not them. It's hard to fight the temptation to set yourself apart from the rest of the world. What you're seeing today is a very, very rapid evolution of an industry where the milieu is better understood by people who grew up in the same time frame as the industry. A lot of the years that many of us have spent in business before this time are of only limited relevance.
Risk is the cost of aggressive objectives.
