    Age is just as irrelevant as .... what football team you support.

    That might be stretching it, but I understand the point you were trying to make 😉

    I'm pretty sure it isn't stretching it. My experience started with paper tape and ended up with windows 8. As I got older I found that more and more often I was the one who was happiest with new technologies and changes. Others of my generation lived through the same massive changes in computer technology (both hardware and software), without difficulty in coping with change and novelty. Age doesn't cause increased resistance to change. I suspect youth doesn't either, although the arrogance of a youngster with a shiny new first class honours degree (degree summa cum laude for you west pond types) sometimes makes him think that because he knows everything any old buffer like me who suggests anything he doesn't know must be incompetent - but not all youngsters think they know it all (and most of those who do soon learn that they don't).
