Another day, another snarky HN comment... As I said, smartphones morph culture in interesting ways. That's a direct product of having access to all of the things you mention. But people are still fundamentally people. If the world believes that war is necessary, smartphones aren't going to change that. And that belief was one of the main reasons for the dark ages.

HN hasn't changed. Endless, meaningless 'discussions' about non-issues that mainly reflect the inability of socially-inept and newbie programmers to understand the world around them. To fill their lives, they leave paragraph after paragraph of text. It's fun to watch, but I hope things improve.

  That's a cynical view. How about: people of every age and level of experience bring what they have to the discussion, and learn from one another. You could do that too, by gently adding your experience to the mix. Doing it without disaffecting your peers gives you extra points.

    Yes I am very cynical. Good catch. The rest of your response is static and not applicable. You don't have information to back up your response, plus it's wrong.

      Its also 'static' to assert that people not like you are dumbheads. Not productive; not even right. You want a discussion, you pitch it at the level of the others in the discussion. There's a large spectrum, and always newbies coming to the arena (or the arena is dead).
