People Over 40 Can't Type with their Thumbs

I am sooooo tired of the perception that people over 40 are technologically incompetent.

Somehow, a myth was started that "people over 40" don't use technology. News flash: I have used computer technology since 1981. I had an Atari hooked up to my black-and-white TV that used to learn Basic. I know why we say "boot up" a computer - because I did an IPL on an IBM 360 every morning for 2 years...

Yes, it's probably true that people in different age brackets don't USE a technology the same way, or to the same extent that others do..... But age isn't an excuse to drag out every time someone has a problem or doesn't know something.....

My latest gizmo (on which I can type with my thumbs).
