A jarring thing to me is that we're talking about technical obsolescence for people at all... workers (especially in tech) can become obsolete so fast, just like gadgets are outdated in a year and obsolete in a few years. You can't just learn a skill and become really good at it. There's all these "computer skills" and buzzwords that are hot one day then avoided like yesterday's fashion. On the other hand here in Europe they are trying to push people to work until their 67th, or older, and pensions are reduced year after year. As if anyone will hire you by that age. Heck by that age we'll be long been discarded like an old iPod.
