Since when is it okay to say these things? People not up to date to do their jobs are the problem, not "old" people. Blame behaviors not groups.

PS: I moved to Germany and I want to move out asap because of how outdated everything is here.

Its a systemic rot. Old people in this case are definitely part of the problem, but so are the young bureaucrats who just step into their predecessor's shoes and continue working as they were in the 70's. "Bitte per Fax zukommen lassen."

Curious to know what are your points of comparison when you say everything is outdated in Germany.

Hmmm okay, so first of all I should had said Berlin, as perhaps my experience does not necessarily reflect the situation in the whole Germany. So about Berlin: Aside from the internet paper-based communication, and general love for bureaucuracy, I found the city's infrastructure to be generally deprived. When I arrived Tegel and Schönefeld were the only airports, the state of which I frankly found shameful, especially for the capital of Europe's biggest economy. And the new Brandenburg airport that took 10 years to finish is not great either. I found the state of S-Bahn and U-Bahn pretty disappointing too, and parts of the public transport system to be constantly broken. Also the general customer service is very bad, a lot of places don't even accept credit cards, and overall people seem to be reluctant to adopt new technologies. I have the feeling that Berlin is stuck in it's golden age, and doesn't want to move forward. As for the point of reference, I moved from Hong Kong (not my native country), which I consider to be very modern in these aspects, so the whole experience was like a time-travel back to the 90s :)
