Why is Hyena's comment being down-voted? It's 100% correct. You are your own brand and your own product. Staying up-to-date with current tech is your own responsibility. Crying about falling behind won't pay the bills.
I wouldn't go that far. My uncle, for example, is a wildly successful surgeon; he spends a lot of time keeping updated because it's important to him. I think keeping abreast of change is incumbent on all professionals, it's just also an important hiring point in technology.
