Yep it's tough being over 40 - we don't really understand this web stuff. I mean we invented it all 20years ago, we wrote the first browsers and the first servers, we wrote the first pages - but since we don't spend all our time following #britney or end every sentence with LOL we obviously can't understand it.
Now you kids get off my (virtual) lawn
- notJim 16y agoYou're right, that was an ageist thing to say, and I'm sorry I said it. My point is just as valid without it.
- iuygthn 16y agoYou're exactly right though ;-) As a 40+ engineer I would have considered REST urls but facebook would never have occurred to me.
- ams6110 16y agoI'm over 40, and admit that I don't "get" facebook. I use email, IM, SMS with my friends but I don't even have a facebook account
- trafficlight 16y agoDon't worry, you aren't missing anything of value. Maybe some inane babble, but you can just turn on CNN or Fox News if you're need a quick fix.
- huxley 16y agoLuxury. We used to have to gopher our info out of Gopherspace at six o'clock in the morning! And our modems worked if we were lucky! There were no youtubes or graphics, our search engines were named after Archie characters, 'alf the floor was missing, and we were all 'uddled together in one corner for fear of falling. But you try and tell the young people of today that ... they won't believe you.
- iuygthn 16y agoOf course we 'ad it tough We used to have whistle Hayes codes up t'phone line ourselves - after making our own modem leads out 'o back to back NULL modems. Ones and Zeros - you were lucky. We only had zeros and we had to catch wild ones and skin em ourselves.
