I used to say that I'm determined to not let technology pass me by with age, but now I suspect that it will happen someday anyway, despite being a technologist. I'm recognizing my aversion to newer, trendy things more and more. I often wonder where the line will finally be drawn and when I'll cross it. Maybe if companies start pushing something like video and gesture-based authentication in virtual or augmented reality, I'll be the old guy saying "you can pry passwords and email from my cold, dead hands."
“What technology you grew up with” is definitely a factor (not the only factor, but a big one) in “what technology you feel comfortable using”.
