Do you think that Chris getting too old for the Web?

Let's see, I'm 42, and I just biked cross country from Seattle. I believe Chris is younger than me, and how can you be too old for the web? Do you mean he's not 15 and doesnt spend all day on the net instead of actually socializing? I'm not sure how someone can be too old for the web, seeing as the people that originally made the net in the 1960s were well into their 40s, 50s, and 60s...

Too old? Too old for the web? Just getting too old? What on earth are you talking about...?

/facepalm.

Oh and to answer your question - No!

What kind of question is this? I don't think you can ever be too old for the web.

Pay your respect, man. It's the older folk who paved the way for the internet. If you have any interest in bettering yourself, you'll be more obliged to make less discriminative remarks and co-operate more in order to gain as much understanding from these old farts as possible! Chris has been around for long enough to learn some things. He's shared many of those things he's learned, and he continues to learn like all of us. If he were to disappear suddenly, there'd be one less source of information. If everyone over 30 I knew on the internet disappeared, I'd have nobody to lecture me about my undefined behaviour in C. I wouldn't progress nearly as fast.

I believe there is a limit at which people would be best off refraining from sharing knowlege. I've noted people at work who can't write simple recursive algorithms to iterate over trees. Another example would be people who give false information under the impression that "they recall it working like that in the 70s", and when corrected "ohh yeh, I'm incorrect! I remember learning that now"... To be blunt, when a person starts acting senile they'd be better off using the internet for their own research, and to keep in touch with relatives, etc but not to convey meaningful research information unless absolutely necessary.

TL;DR: No. Chris isn't too old for the internet, and he never will be. At least, not while his mind functions sufficiently.

Not at all. He isn't even 40. My Grandpa is multiple times older than Chris and he's online and doing well. Age isn't really all that important on the Internet, maturity is more important.

I didn't know Chris had reached puberty yet...so how can he be too old?

What is the Internet ????

Sometimes I think he is. :P

No one is too old for the web!
