Left behind or become tethered to some electronic device? No way. Leave me a message on my machine if I am unavailable or I can check my email when I get back to the computer. I am not running a triage unit so nothing is that important.
Keep up with your business and customers and never take anything for granted either.
As far as technology I just canceled my cable, decided a used car makes more sense. At the shop no more major purchases just farm out all the digital printing and hdu work like I have done in the past.
The world is loonier than ever. A friend in the business who is 50 recently applied for a job. When they noticed that he had no college mentioned that they need at least 2 years of secondary education. He responded that he thought 30 years of experience would be just as important. He was wrong.

Like anything.... its all relative.
You know like old.... older.... oldest.
Is it when you have lotsa lines in your face ?? Maybe you walk slower or can't react quite as quickly as maybe 50 or 60 years ago. I know plenty of people that buy into this old age crap because of the number. That's it..... its a number. That doesn't mean you have to act feeble and shuffle around. Put some spring into that step and put a smile on your face and you'll always be young.
My neighbor and drinking buddy is 92 years old/young. He knows he's old, but he's on the go all the time. He knows when he reaches a certain point and doesn't overextend his limits. He goes to the gym three times a week for cardio and loves going to casinos. He even has a girlfriend in the last 6 months or so. Betty's 88 years old/young. They do all kinds of things together and can do almost anything today except maybe... well, I just don't ask.
I am where I'm at because of every decision or path I've chosen along my life's journey and I'm not at all embarrassed by any of those decisions, so why would I embrace something that isn't me or I believe in just because it's new ??
Does this mean you're going to get a facelift 'to fit in' because you don't want to be yourself anymore ??
One more thing.... you said being old in your sixties.... I hardly consider that old. I believe the new old age is after 90 some time. If you don't make it that far... you've just outlived or abused your body in the process of getting old.

As for 40 or 50 being over the hill..... just don't buy into it.
Haha...... listening to the latest of music or wearing the latest fashions.... I can't really see that. I'm me and I live like I want to. I don't like a lot of today's music.... mainly because the majority isn't what I consider music and I still haven't found the area of that crap that I like, yet. So, I do my own thing. I have a religion and I'm up on about 95% of the world's current events. That doesn't mean I have to embrace it. Taking on a complete new look to fit in is kinda sending mixed signals in my opinion.

just came back... this thread keeps going. i didn't mean wear torn up jeans and some douchey t-shirt with eagles and skulls on it. that's not the idea. the idea isn't to "look" young. that would be tragic. just don't be out of touch, looking back like your prime is behind you. when a "current"/young person approaches someone 40+, in their eyes, you are ancient. today's culture has no respect for age and wisdom. and why should they? kids today are experiencing a technological revolution. the thought that we grew up before there were even television remotes, or cable tv, or cell phones. no wonder 40 somethings seem old, and 50 somethings are off the map. we might as well be pilgrims.
i remember a documentary about karl lagerfeld about career longevity (which he definitely has). he discussed just the same issues. i plan on making ever increasing income forever until i keel over. and i'll be damned if some kid is going to take my place. hell no. i've been at it for 30+ years and at any time that can be irrelevant if i don't keep up with the latest tech, chemicals, software, marketing, trends, etc.

I'm with Gino here,...I'm on lap 57 rapidly approaching lap 58 around an obscure star in a tiny solar system. Any of you folks who haven't completed that many laps are obviously behind me due to the simple fact of physics that you haven't traveled that far in time yet(time being the manner in which we measure our travels thru our solar system). In a world inhabited with beings who base their number system on the appendages of their body,..what if some millennium ago we as a race were banished to this obscure planet because of our obvious deviant ignorant genes by a much superior race to quarantine their own from contamination by our defective dna?
