As a developer who is almost 60, and the father of two budding developers. I can't image a better time to EVER have lived. The technological landscape is amazing, new things in tech, biotech, materials, and just human understanding of ourselves. I don't feel old because I am excited about everyday and what adventures it will bring. I can still beat the twenty year olds in speed chess, though my twitch reactions are not fast enough to keep up in the modern FPS's. The trick is to challenge yourself everyday in mental, physical, and spiritual ways. Having great kids helps with that!

> "I can't image a better time to EVER have lived." I dunno. The other day, my wife and our 5 children and I were all having a relaxing evening together as a family in the living room, and something my 4 year old daughter said accidentally set off Siri who said "sorry I didn't catch that" and my daughter said "never mind" and we all had a good laugh. Then my daughter said "I love you, Siri." My heart sank. I'm probably not giving enough context to explain it, but she seemed to genuinely think Siri was a real (and neglected) person in the family.

  And in a few years Siri will probably be a sibling intelligence. I do believe our new computer overlords will be kind to us ;-)
