When I first began object oriented programming my reaction was the same 
as yours.  What's the big deal, I thought.  We've had structures in C 
since the 1970's and records in COBOL maybe since the 50's.

But there's more to it than that.  Once you start getting into 
inheritance, sometimes multiple inheritance, polymorphism, "interfaces", 
"abstract" classes, "virtual" classes, public private and protected 
access, etc. you find that there really are some new programming 
paradigms here.

If you pick up a book on Java, C++, C# or another OOP language, your 
first reaction may still be, why is there all this exotic nomenclature 
for things we could always do?  But as you read on and start writing 
code, I think you may find some very interesting stuff and some usefully 
different ways to think about programming.

I suggest you approach it as an opportunity to learn something new and 
interesting.  I don't think you'll be disappointed.
