As the title says, he's talking about technology. Everyone knows technology is a young man's game. The law is an old man's game. When you read an article about the latest case or legislation, the first thing they talk about is what the law was 200 or 300 years ago, and move forward from there. The law doesn't throw out old case-law; it builds on it. In this way, it remains predictable (so parties don't have to go to court to find out what the law is), it retains basic principles (e.g. fairness doesn't change with technology), and it acts as a drag rather than a kite, so it is a moderating force. While the law is often behind the times, that is far, far less dangerous than the alternative. IOW Judges are old.
