Life's Too Short

Seth reports that a seventy-year old friend of his father's doesn't know what an MP3 is.

That's nothing. I recently talked with with a Googler, approximate age 28, who had never tried an RSS reader, and didn't seem to know what the point of it was. I met with a young (30ish) marketing manager who knew everything, especially when it came to search, analytics, and everything online. Except that she'd never used local search. Never used a comparison shopping engine. (Didn't even know what the latter was.)

Both are in stable condition, with vital signs healthy, and resting comfortably.

But seriously. Maybe it's about time you Web 2.0'ers got over yourselves. 1.5 hasn't yet penetrated. And people are too busy for your "must haves".
