Still, I think it is a complacency of thought processes more than a
real age-related inability.  I think it will manifest in the younger
crowd sooner rather than later.  

In my own case, I have always been a lover of learning (and a learner
of loving, but that has nothing to do with Ubu) and delight in the new
and different.  I'm decidedly /not/ what one would call a techie but do
build my own computers.  

OT:
I also just recently learned how to fell very large trees and turn them
into usable lumber because we had very large trees that threatened
our home.  Heh, chain saws are /so/ cool!  ...but noisy.

(going to do some more of that work today, in fact)

Ah, learning!  Ah, working!  As you can easily see, though, mine is not
the normal mindset at all for anyone, much less for my age group.
