And I'm over 50. My point remains.

Very often things invented when we are older seem to be utterly pointless to us. We literally can't get why people are excited about them. And I see this tendency in people in my age range more than in my teenagers. I personally have to back up and go from first principles to avoid it.



Everything is exciting - innovation is exciting and new inventions are exciting. If you can't feel it, that's sad and I hope you can get it back but please don't impose your own issue upon an entire age group.
