It’s always amusing to me when someone states “Demographic X knows more about technology Y (usually social media or video games) because they are younger.”
And I think, “Oh really? That’s interesting because whilst I and my colleagues were building and creating technology Y, it appears that demographic X were still, quite literally, shitting in their diaper.”
You might as well be telling me that the youth of today understand and appreciate coffee more for the simple reason is they grew up with a Starbucks on every corner.
You don’t stop understanding technology because you got old.
You stop understanding because you stopped being curious and you stopped learning.
