The Truly Vibrant Don't Retire
from the working-towards-100 dept
Recently, there has been a lot of publicity about age discrimination in High Tech companies. I believe that some individuals refuse to change with the times and that can lead to their downfall but also that some narrow minded employers and recruiters do discriminate based on an incorrect vision of old age leading to ineffectiveness in all individuals. I was inspired by an article written by a 70 year old journalist, that is still employed in the computer industry. His mindset is strong and vibrant with what I believe is the correct mindset to stand the test of time by embracing change (equally important for a 21 or 70 year old)!
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
