Easy there Hyduh....
I am older and still trucking... Morphing into more things 'technical'. I'm in the Cloud Engineering, Data Engineer, AI/ML world and this story is a good one.
It gives folks a bit to consider (not freak out, not yet anyway). Moving from Mainframes, to PCs, to the Internet and now on to AI/ML - that is the irrefutable path.
For him to use the analogy of Internet to AI is still a good one.
We have a lot of folks out there, young and old who do not get the hang of technology.
But, give the 'older' folks a bit more credit - quite a few of them are in the tech world (not enough though...).
