I'm 26 now, and I think it's really great that people like you, 50 years older and almost the age of my grandfather, take part in all of this stuff. Everyone has his share of experience, and I believe every generation can learn a bit from every other generation. Guys of your age have a little more experience and stories to share, and I really appreciate this. It's especially great that you manage to keep up with technology and all of the related stuff. I know at least one person who's 90+ and very healthy and active, but her understanding of technology is near zero. For me, people that age taking part of all this kind of stuff is incredible, and it's also highly appreciated. There are plenty of things we young folks can learn.
