Older generations adopting new technologies faster than young

Me == 50

Twitter.

Is a real time revolution.

Twitter names are the gold rush. You kids better get in there and preserve your spot. This is the best way I have ever seen to build a vertical slice of 30-50 thousand followers, without all the SEO/SEM, PPC, hoopla.

I am running multiple twitter accounts, using auto follow tools, auto content tools, and cannot believe how much traffic to my sites it generates. Better than PPC!!!

It sounds like catch up on most of the examples given - if the total adoption rates had been higher for older generations then they might have a point. As it stands it seems as though a certain percentage of the total population are the sort of people to adopt new technologies (well, in a reasonable time frame) and younger people have reached this point quicker than older people. It's kind of like observing the "late majority" in Moore's chasm after everyone else has already jumped on board and then saying "look - the late majority do love technology, maybe even more than everyone else".
