What is something about how people view or use technology that needs to die? (lemmy.world)

My favorite is when someone tells me that they are too old to learn about new technology, or that they can't use a device because they aren't very tech-y. No, you just refuse to learn.

I'm legit scared of that. Im only in my 30s and my capacity for learning has diminished greatly since I was a child. What if that trajectory continues?

I dont wanna be "too old to learn these newfangled thingamabobs" when we get the next big thing.

    I'm 73 and I reckon I'm learning more now than when I was in my 20s. I have a few things I'm interested in and I have a real thirst to know more about them. Not like in school where I was forced to remember a load of names and dates.

    I might have hit a wall as far as tech goes though - I see people here on Lemmy talking about servers and I'm interested, but struggle to understand the basics.
