Scripts and Batches

It is interesting to note how much companies still depend on old batch scripts, in a world where IT sphere is changing rapidly. From its inception I think mostly due to rapid changes in the ICT technologies, existing technolgies become stale, out-of-date so soon. The applications done today is does not go with the concepts coming tomorrow.
Can the businesses which are not so fast in changing their stuff, cope up with this ? No, they simply cant give up things. Still many organizations depend on batch processing, which are done mostly using batch scripts. Most interesting thing is mostly core business functions solely depend on them. The reliance on batches is so high, that companies are willing to spend anyamount to modernize or simply upgrade its look rather than scrap them.
Sometimes back, I thought, script languages going to go away soon. I was proved wrong, when I happent to learn them again years after that thought.
Am I going back, in time dimension ?

Its a new year

Its end of a very important year... At least for me..
there are significant changes in ma work that happent during the year,,, For the interest of the others, I changed myself more into free and open source development. This is more of an acquired taste. I fallen in lve with open source development as I worked on my research project. I think its the future,,,. Its all about end of software slavery, and freedom of choice..
Apart from that, I started seeking the meaning of ma life... I dont want to elaborate on this,,
