    And could we please all remember the age of these folks and people like Vint Cerf when some fool drags out that old canard about old people not understanding new technology. No, only lazy or stupid old people don’t understand technology they didn’t grow up with. There’s just lots of them. And unless you are open minded and put in the effort, then you could end up fitting the stereotype because many of us are not as smart as we think

      In fairness, plenty of young lazy and stupid people also don’t understand technology they did grow up with.

      Consumerism breeds sloth.

      Kings and Queens of convenience who know no lack, will never learn to hack.
