Within the span of an aviation career, there was:-
1. Windshear. No alert, no warning, no guidance. If you encountered it - over to you - fly the aircraft.
but would you detect and assess the conditon in time, and act swiftly, was the aircraft capable of escape from it.
Thence there was education, think ahead assess conditions, avoidance, recovery.

2. Technology for board detection and audio alerting; a reactive system. Thence advice for escape manoeuvre, and then guided recovery - use of fast-slow indicator, and then FD guidance developed. Simulation.
Ground based technology for early warning of likely conditions; a semblance of prediction.
3. On board predictive technologies (PWS); look ahead, advisory alerting, crew options, warning - requiring immediate action. Thence advanced severity classification and recovery guidance; some auto flight, auto thrust capability.
There are those who have experienced windshear, and those who will, but who should avoid it at all cost.
