Too many old farts in charge of too many important things.
- SoftwareMaven 15y agoLet's all celebrate ageism. Yay!
- kelnos 15y agoPlease don't trot out the "-ism" card. Yes, the OP's words were a bit flippant and perhaps insulting, but older generations are, on average, more conservative and less tech-savvy than younger generations. That's just how it is; it's not insulting to the older crowd, it's just what one would naturally expect. But, all this tends to present a real problem when the law clashes with technology.
- SoftwareMaven 15y agoThe problem I have with it is that there are undoubtably young people working in the same systems, upholding the same values. It's easy to write it off as "old farts", when, in reality, it is entrenched power that is problematic. But that isn't a one-sentence comment that writes off a lot of work by older people (fwiw, I'm not yet 40) to make the world a better place for the youngen's.
