    Yes, I got a feeling in a few decades, I would be talking to younger people, and say when I was young people used HTML, PHP, MySQL, and computer programming and mark up languages to build and customize my websites, and did not use CMS, blogs, forum, and social networking software to build my websites until later on in my teens and twenties.

    Possibly, most young people in the future just use Apps, Blogspot, Tumblr, Facebook, and membership sites to share their content instead of building and maintaining a community by installing forum and blog software on an actual web server to forum and blog with people.

    The command prompt, File Managers, and coding tools for creating programs, and scripts might also be less popular in a few decades, and be replaced with simplified one click buttons which do most things on a computer with a few clicks or less, and people can just create computer programs by drawing out a program in a paint program, and typing in code with a simplified coding language which uses everyday english words like do, run, etc.

    Also, I think fewer people need to know how to maintain a computer in the future since most computers will be fanless or automatically cleaning in the future to clean up dust in the PC fans, and the operating system and antivirus will keep your software running well, and virus free.

    People in the future will have more access to more advance technology, but may not need to know commands, codes, and how to maintain the new tech to use it.

    I wonder would tomorrow older generation will still prefer a keyboard and mouse over newer technology like the Microsoft Kinect where you talk to the Kinect, and use hand and body gestures to tell the console or computer to do stuff for you instead of manually using a keyboard and mouse to tell the computer what to do.

    But, I think when most of todays older people are in their 80-90+ they won't really like using electronics like the Kinect which can sense voice and read body gestures since most older people tend to move slowly, and don't talk as fast as young people unless in the future the aging process is not as fast meaning people in their 90s are like people in their 20s because of newer drugs which keep people from aging as fast.

    Wonders if there would be keyboards, mice, and computer devices made for old people like those phones, calculators, and remote controls with big buttons, and are easy to hold.
