Youth? Seriously?
I'm 56, been in IT for over 30 years and have no problem "keeping up" with today's youth. while they're busy "tweeting" or checking Facebook at work, I'm busting my ass developing multi-threaded real value solutions for my company. While they're busy trying to implement "Agile, Scrum, or whatever else is the lastest fad", I'm eating their lunch and developing robust, user loved systems that just plain work and are done on time, under budget. Sorry to see you 've fallen into the "younger is better" mindtrap... you should know better.
