[Blackburn thinks the main difference between his generation and the company's older employees lies in the nature of their goals.] People my age tend to like change, to not want to be pigeonholed, to get a lot of different experiences, to be able to move across the organization, ... Sometimes older folks seem to fear change more. They want to master something and then stick with it exclusively. I see Reynolds changing more along the lines of our generation, to moving people throughout the organization to keep up with changes. When you're in IT, you don't want to get stuck somewhere because technology changes so fast and you could get left behind.
