Being generally aggressive is not actually a good idea. You have to be
aggressive in areas where there are currently problems that need to be
solved. You should always use proven technology, provided that it
actually works (which you'd think would be part of it being "proven",
but...) and that it does what you want done. This tends to leave a
substantial area for being aggressive; if there is any real progress,
there will be some technologies that you will want to invest in because
they do things which were formerly simply impossible.
Many businesses, honestly, shouldn't have invested in any computer
technology in the past ten years, simply because ten years ago, they
could run their business on the technology they had, and they don't have
any needs they didn't have then. I was pleased to see that my auto repair
place seems to be using a system that old for keeping track of the
business (of course, there's new equipment in use in actually repairing
the cars).
