    I'm the same age! I have been good about staying relevant with technology, I have always been interested in tech things (such as they were going back in my youth).

    All the people that are good with Tech had to learn it. What the difference is is the amount of time you have to learn new Tech and if it's worth it for your time.

    I have no choice but know techy stuff as it my job. But don't fret in all my years in my job, if you ask someone to press 'any' key,, they actually will look for the ANY key on their keyboard.

    married to a computer programmer, I have resigned to feeling tech stupid for the rest of my life.

    But, if I may brag, I am pretty good and a little bit in love with Excel. The rest of it can all go to hell.

    I can't tell you the amount of times I make this joke in my head and still laugh. "Which one is the any key?"

    Ever since my pappy explained that an internal combustion engine had little explosions inside the engine block, I wanted to be drenched in diesel fumes. Alas, I made my living in the highest of tech worlds. Despite even having helped design the latest smart phones, I don't have one. If it doesn't have explosions inside, I'm not interested.

    I am in my late 40s and I have to ask my 6th grader to turn on the television in the family room, because I cannot figure out the various remotes.
