Age is no guarantee of wisdom, but it certainly is an indicator. In any case, I'm quite sure that I don't understand the point you're making here. You just listed a bunch of things that some people (both young and old) think and say about this tech.

What do you mean by "being old" here? What is it, concretely, that you want people to stop doing?



You are right, I am equating age with being inflexible and as an old man myself, I have to fight to retain my flexibility in all respects.

So, replace "old" with "inflexible" and you get the gist.

In general, "old" people are inflexible, but we professionals are lucky that we don't have to be in a field that is always expanding.
