So in my experience, younger people makes the same mistakes as we older people did (listen to IT trends, believing it will make things better when it usually makes things worse, etc).
Older guys are worried about not being as smart as younger guys. But older guys also knows, being the smartest person in the room stops being important when you have lots of experience, because wisdom trumps intelligence.
- galaxyLogic 5y agoI much agree. But there is this idea that progress progresses all the time therefore new tools to do your job with are better than older ones, else they would not come to the market. And younger people have easier time learning the new tools because they have to learn some tools to do their work with. Therefore younger people have an advantage, in that sense. Older people who don't know much about the new tools will look ignorant and are not much respected by the younger people. Younger people think they know it all because they don't know what they don't know, see Dunning-Kruger. Is this really so I don't really know but I think there is some logic to it.
