But, if you are a good business person you learn the market forces that affect your product... and technology is a big one. Back in the 1800s book publishers didn't have competition from TV and Movies. It's not about being tech savy but about being business savy.

Although, I do agree that some people get set in their ways, whether they are 30 or 60 and don't like to make changes. I would argue that this makes for a bad business person. Then again, Warren Buffet is still making billions and he says he doesn't invest in tech at all, because he doesn't understand it, the market or the business.
