I was building, programming, and operating computers before their parents had teeth.

There was a time when I thought that because I'd been doing something for so long, and doing it well, the young bloods hungry for a chance to prove themselves, couldn't teach me anything. Now that I know better, my star shines even brighter.

Well said.

At work, we paired a top veteran with a savvy 20-something. We ended up getting way more out of them paired than we would've individually.

I think that it is hard for some people to learn to "flex their style" when dealing with others that are either too young or older than themselves. The Generation Gap is often times hard for some to deal with.

I wonder if there was less of a gap when extended families sharing the same roof, was common. Did intimacy keep generations more in sync?

Oh ... And throwing in a gratuitous image to keep the thread on track.
