When Will You Become Obsolete?

Garth Sundem took on an interesting question in his latest book, Brain Candy:

At what age will technology overtake your ability to use it?

You may not have thought about it this way before, but your reluctance to hop on the latest technological trends may well have put you on the path toward becoming a technological dinosaur, doomed to have time and opportunities pass you by as those who embrace the newest and latest leave you behind on your evolutionary dead end.

Or in other words, when you will truly have become old.

The only question left then is how old will you be when that happens to you?

And our latest tool based on Garth's math will help you answer that question! Just enter the indicated data below, and be prepared to come to terms with the idea that you may not have all that much time left....
