Unless your training and research commit you to a major research facility, for example a supercollider, space telescope, or stem-cell laboratory, do not linger too long with any one technology. When a new instrument is at the cutting edge, it may open new horizons of research quickly, but it is also at first usually expensive and difficult to operate. As a result, there will be a temptation for a young scientist to build a career in the new technology itself rather than to make original studies that can be performed with it.
