After nearly 35 years in the IT field, I will be first to tell everyone that you need to get away from tech on your personal time. One of my co-workers (only 10 years in the field) rebuilds antique mechanical clock movements for a hobby. Sadly, like most others from his generation, he cannot drive a manual transmission.
I went to take a licensing test a few years ago, and the rules said that you could bring a basic non-scientific calculator or a slide rule to the exam. The proctor asked to check everyone's calculator on the way into the testing room, and said that I was the only person to ever show up with a slide rule (which I used to get a perfect test score).....
