[HECnet] Younger generations

[Rob Jarratt]

When we were young the old timers thought the same about us. This seems to be a universal constant. So, while I don’t understand all the tastes of the younger generations, they have no lesser right to their tastes and interests than we do. They are no cleverer and no dumber than we were at their age.

 

I think we just have to realise that what we are interested in is *history*, so I think someone else on this thread had it right, we should take the time to explain things, so the younger generations understand where it all came from and why it was exciting.

 

Regards

 

Rob

With what was going on about RT11, I showed a much younger colleague some of the conversations on this list.

Let’s just say that I fear for the future of the human race.
