How young is everyone?

[Scepticalscribe]

I did not mean that. We will all die when our time comes. I hope we all live for many years, but decades from now this will be the diary of those of us who have died. So for me, the word "a few" does not mean a number between 5-10 as you would understand. I apologize if I was misunderstood, which I was.

Okay.

Fair enough.

That makes sense.

Is that a bad thing?

I don't think it's bad if someone resurrects a dead thread, with two exceptions:

1. The thread has been LONG dead - like over 5 or so years
2. A reply to the thread is futile - it's a "permanently ignored" thread

Otherwise, sure, I've resurrected plenty of seemingly dead threads, and I never feel ashamed of it.

No, it is not a bad thing.

Actually, I was laughing at myself for happily contributing to a necro thread, (once it had been resurrected), the premise of which I had initially disdained (and disagreed with).

Let's include translation. As you know, most words of Turkish are not translated into English. 🙂

What is relatively unusual is to find adolescents choosing to spend time in the 'social' (or community) sections of the forum, but - to me - that is a good thing.

Hmmm... I guess I would agree, maybe?

I brought this up in another thread, but I've honestly just lost interest in all the tech-related topics here, so this is where I hang around now.

As have I, to a certain extent.

At least, to the extent that I am no longer excited (or, much interested) in tech-related subjects as a (possible) consumer or customer - I still remember the stupefied awe with which I watched the late Mr Jobs slowly draw the original MBA from an envelope, and I still remember my awed delight when I bought my first iPod.

However, I do retain an interest - a considerable interest - in the transformative power, or influence, as well as the historical and societal importance, of tech in our world and in our lives.

I'm not sure people will post here after they die. 😁

What? You never heard of ghost writing?

I'll throw myself out now.😅

Bravo.

Brilliant.

If there was an emoji to indicate applause, you would have received it from me.

Been there. Done that. Got the t-shirt.

I feel as though I'm too tired of technology bites and that there will never be another full course because the technology is at a plateau.

Hopefully, Turkish works better with German.

Hopefully, it's just a bit of burnout and not how people aggressively respond to each other.

I'm probably the youngest person on this place. There are also members in Turkish forums who are 7 years old. There are too many of them.

Youngest person here? I highly doubt it. Actually, I know that's not true.

Also, 7-year-old forum members???? What?! That is a little extreme I think.

 

[dotnet]

Lost for words, reading this.

Just a lack of perspective, or sense of time, I guess. I’m turning 60 this year and expect to live another 20-30 years at least. By that time this forum may be long forgotten.

Real. Look Turkish Forums.

 

[Joeyyye]

Talking about age seems like a sad story, at least to me.

There have been younger users in the PowerPC Mac subforum over the years.

Same here. 50 was the worst, everything seemed to fail at 50: knees, blood pressure etc

Left knee at 52. Right knee ok (so far).

I think that some women may offer an alternative perspective: Namely, that 50 - or, around 50 - may mark the start of a whole new part of one's life, free from what may have seemed the tyranny of biology and from the demands of the male gaze, a time when one may begin to live for oneself instead of others.

Part of the most ignored Generation here.

As a Gen Xer myself I can say I definitely feel this way.

I'm a gen Xer and can confirm that I'm 30 years old.

I'm old enough to remember when pre-9/11, the world wasn't a complete ***** **** show and in some ways was on the right track (at least it was IMO). Now, Tylenol and Ibuprofen are part of my daily diet, my knees click and ache when I walk, staying up past 8pm on a weekday is stupid and I'm finding that I say "Those damn kids" a lot more often...

I was much younger when I bought my first PowerPC Mac clone and put BeOS on it.

 

[The Clark]

29, but don't worry, I feel like I'm 75

My son turns 21 later this year. 👍

 

[Apple fanboy]

As I’ve not celebrated a birthday in years I struggle to remember.
I’m closer to the end than the beginning.

 

[ejb190]

Yikes. It's a bit sobering to realise that I joined the forum before you were born!

Yup. Exactly what I was thinking...
