I agree there's an increasing demand for big data but I think the OP is overreacting. I think there's going to be a big demand for internal LOB apps, mobile apps etc for a long time. Not everything is big nor needs to scale. Can't hurt to learn unix or jvm languages though.

I am mainly talking about server technologies. So yes, client technologies do not need to scale. But if the when even LOB apps need to work wit

Remember "Can't hurt", not quite true. I am shifting focus, so I am spending time that could be spending on learning and mastering, blogging, speaking Microsoft technologies. If I am wrong, it will hurt me.
