I'm not sure this 'tech journalist' knows enough about the field to make any more than a blatantly sensationalist story. Out of the companies mentioned as having younger workers (Epic Games, Facebook, Zynga, Google, AOL, Blizzard Entertainment, InfoSys, and Monster.com), only two -- Facebook and Google are what most of the younger CS grads from my school would consider worth joining (not even Facebook so much; I know people declined internships at Facebook to do something more exciting). "The best companies in techlology" (as determined by what, stock value?) aren't exactly the watermark which you judge the entire industry by. There can be a lot of other companies who are recruiting a good mix of older/more experienced, and younger/more eager workers. I'm not sure if he's implicitly comparing it to the journalism industry in which (presumably) age counts for a lot more.
