I *KNEW* I was young - at heart

I read this infoworld article yesterday called "Age gap hampers technology adoption". I've always felt younger than I am and this article confirmed it for me :-) It talks about the tension between those under 35 who are embracing the new technology (e.g. Web 2.0) and those over 45 that don't. They say

The older group is showing apprehension around Web 2.0 fueled by how quickly the technology is changing.

Who are these guys? Hello, McFly, where have you been for the last 12 years? What part about the internet and "rapid change" don't you get?


Anyway, I'm feeling not a day over 30.

I realize you posted this a whole year ago, but here's what I was wondering: do you have a myspace or a facebook? Do you play online video games? I have teenagers who do, and I've been trying to figure out why they like it, and so I got a myspace page and a facebook, and I really, really like it. I think more older people should have an idea what's going on in that world. It's like we're all riding horses while the kids zoom around in electric cars. Why should they have all the fun?
