I have access to all that technology too, and it doesn't keep me from getting bored. I don't see why it would be any better if you were a teenager.

I have been very happy with it. I knew it was supposed to be faster, but I was skeptical. It's one thing to make something faster on the cases for which it is particularity slow. It's a much harder problem to make something faster in general. You can call either faster from a marketing standpoint, but the second case is much more useful.

It has been noticeably faster for me, not just on one or two things, but on everything. That makes me very happy.

> The president of one job leadership consultancy argues C and C++ coders will soon be as obsolete as Cobol programmers. "The entire world has gone to Java or .Net. You still find C++ coders in financial companies because their systems are built on that, but they're disappearing."

He says that like COBOL programmers have a hard time finding jobs.

All these predictions are what the author wants to happen, not what is actually going to happen.
