Technology Can Help You Stay Young, If You Let It
from the programming-that-VCR dept
An amusing column from the SF Chronicle about a guy who’s starting to feel old because he’s no longer on top of the latest technology. He remembers making fun of people for not wanting to upgrade from a typewriter to a PC, and now realizes he’s becoming more like them. Is it the inevitable aging process that makes it tougher to keep up with/understand new technologies, or do they just seem less important as we get older?

It is definitely *not* to do with physical ageing, it is to do with having more perspective on things – you see the latest whizzbang gadget and think, “well, I’d like that, but a) I can’t afford it, b) the system I have now works perfectly well for everything I want to do and c) its funciton is entirely pointless anyway.
