I wish I had mod points in this thread.
Us "old folks" have learned valuable lessons like:
- Just because it's in your head doesn't mean it belongs out in public
- Nothing can ever really be removed from the internet.
- Nobody cares what you had for lunch or who you think is hot.
- Unless you're a parolee, nobody has a right to know where you are and what you're doing every minute of the day. Nor do we care.
- We've seen thin clients before. We've seen thick clients before. We've seen pretty much everything before.
- Yes, it's cool that you can browse the web on your phone. No, we're not willing to fork over an extra $600 a year for the World's Most Expenive Data Plan so we can watch TV on a screen that we wouldn't piss on if it was on a desk.
- When someone asks for something bizzare and/or impossible in the current time frame, we have no problem saying "There's absolutely no way this is going to happen." That's why we're SCUBA Diving in the Caribbean while you're at work millimeters away from a heart attack.
And that's why big companies don't want "old guys"
