Old farts / New kids

This is a tough issue to describe. There are old farts who has old money, wear suit and tie and act like they know everything. Always serious and determent.

New kids who have more money and know more, who act free and carelessly. Casual and random.

I think that pisses off the old farts. This used to be their territory. It is so amazing to observe an old guard professor from an esteemed european university talking to one of the google boys. Very amusing... This old fart cannot believe that he spent his entire adult life to be who he is and be there is less important and influential than this kid, who is dresses up like one of his students and doesn’t care who the old guys is.

But the game has changed. And there is no returning back. Somebody asked me if Davos is less relevant because there is less political big shots and serious looking people. I think Davos is still very important, but the important people has changed.

PS. I saw today some guy was demonstrating the Second Life on one of the plasmas. Unbelievable. (For those who has no idea yet, google second life, you won’t believe it)
