Jobs biggest success came when he was over 45 and honestly, we are not talking here about stuff like break-thru cancer cure, new kind of alternative energy or similar. We still use the same network stack (TCP, 1974), the same web markup language (HTML, 1990) and the same programming languages as our fathers (C++, 1979, PHP, 1995, SQL 1987).

Well, we aren't using my grandmother's computer programming language much (Fortran).... Thank goodness ;-) hahahahah
Actually, Fortran is pretty widely used in the sciences. If you're working with R, you're probably doing some Fortran stuff, too.
