I'm not sure I'd make absolute statements based on arbitrary birth dates. Some of us have created the very things you use and are well aware of the implications. I'd also make no such assumptions based on someone being younger than myself.

I didn't intend for my statements to be absolute. I could have thrown in some seem tos and generallys but I felt like the "at least in my case" covered it. I've spoken to older people who are very aware of what's coming and/or already here. It's just not the common case. I'm not making a hard assumption; It's more like a branch prediction.
You may wish to edit your first reply. "The previous generation assumes..."
It's too late to edit. If I could I'd change it to "the previous generation seems to assume..."
