It is exciting. It is changing our world in a radical way. I do not question for one moment the need to tap into this youthful energy and creativity. We are indeed building a new world. However, that does not mean we can't have some old ingredients in the mix.
Age brings with it experience, maturity and wisdom.
As we get older we have hopefully learned from our mistakes and are able to judge things better. We have a better understanding of the implications of our actions and can take a longer-term view of things. Yes, that can sometimes lead to caution, but caution is sometimes the right response. Everyone I talk to about the internet sings the mantra that you cannot predict three months ahead, let alone three years. Personally, I think that's a cop-out.
