I'm 26 now, and I think it's really great that
people like you, 50 years
older and almost the age of my grandfather, take part in all of this
stuff. Everyone has his share of experience, and I believe every
generation can learn a bit from every other generation. Guys of your age
have a little more experience and stories to share, and I really
appreciate this. It's especially great that you manage to keep up with
technology and all of the related stuff. I know at least one person
who's 90+ and very healthy and active, but her understanding of
technology is near zero. For me, people that age taking part of all this
kind of stuff is incredible, and it's also highly appreciated. There are
plenty of things we young folks can learn.
It's more than just experience; they've been there, done that. Indeed,
every generation has a different kind of "experience", which is always
unique and invaluable.
I wish my grandparents were alive today so I could share with them the
technology I grew to love (when I was younger I learnt everything from
science to history from them), and in turn receive wisdom I could
probably never pick up alone in a hundred years. Even looking at my
father, I realise how little I've learnt for the 2+ decades I've been
blessed to enjoy what this modern world has to offer. Sometimes young
blood runs hot, too hot.
Sorry for derailing the topic further. I guess the train is now on a
collision course, but hats off to the old-timers from the audio
industry!
