Especially in these modern internet times - where you may not always know the age of who you're dealing with. Good post.

I fact, he left the country, in part because he could see that his age was making it harder for him to get work. or at least related to all the youngsters in the meeting (or vise versa). Certainly, looking around in the Silicon Valley tech companies, I don't see many gray-hairs. I think this is definitely an issue. I'm not sure where the older practioners go. I am worried about it. I just now feel like I know what I'm doing with 20 years experience as a writer, but I figure I have to my mid-50s before the Logan's Run mentality starts crippling my career. Luckily, I look young for my age. Then again, I hardly ever meet anyone face-to-face for my work, so maybe technology will save me. Bob,

I agree with the poster who said that salary played into it. Where I am definitely NOT seeing this is the freelance copywriting industry...where it's older males who hold the highest acclaim.

Especially since I'm working on my own. I’m definiately a kid and when it comes to copywriting and I think I listen and learn - although it’s more like read and absorb.

It's kind of a nebulous idea. "Web 2.0 marketing" includes stuff like social networking, viral video, blogging, all that stuff. Occasionally I hear people talking about "web 3.0," which I assume is the next big Internet paradigm shift, but I don't really know what that is.

Rather, having technology grafted to every part of me, such as a cell phone in holster at my hip and a wireless headset in me ear, just reminds me of a cybernetic being. Jennifer: What program is web 2.0 or 3.0? I thought I was pretty up on the latest Internet browser clients, but that one I am not familiar with.
