I'm 55. Part of the group of people who built the internet and supporting infrastructure. I've hauled Luddite companies like PacBell out of the 7 layer ISO BS model into the world of TCP/IP. Once implemented, they saw the light. No further hand holding was required. It was a knock down, drag out fight for about 6 months. There are still many of us old "techies" working in the real world. It's not the old "techies" that worry me. It's whether the younger generation behind us can continue to carry the technical banner into the future. That's a key reason so many of us are still working in the trenches. There's nobody to take the baton and keep running the race.

I would have thought you were still working mainly to pay the bills :). Me, I'm paying my own salary to configure a DD-WRT router and Google TV today.
