The Age Gap Effect: A Social Psychology Perspective

With age comes wisdom and with wisdom comes some lack of optimism or maybe not with age comes experience. So when I was younger, I was pretty good at predicting which technologies we're going to succeed and fail. And as I've gotten older, I've gotten worse at that prediction because you don't think everything's great. With discernment and with discernment comes less optimism. You don't think that everything's going to succeed because you're discerning and discriminating.
