Thank you for letting me know how I appear to you. I don't agree that my point of view is obsolete or that I am not entitled to an opinion about design. Judging what I write based on my age led to you, as other commenters have pointed out, missing the point of my post.

Your point about up-to-date examples is well taken. Finding good examples is the hardest part of technical writing for me. As I work on Facebook and Instagram I will keep my eyes open for clear examples of the same principles, because the principles really are the same regardless of shifts in technical fashion. You'll have the opportunity to learn that in the years to come.
