technology and age

Recently I agreed to a phone survey with a woman who's getting her Ph.D. in mass communications research.
She has been interviewing newspaper journalists from all over the country about how technology is impacting their careers and has found that age is a big factor in how they respond. Apparently, the 32 and over crowd is pretty weary of technology and generally pessimistic about the future of newspapers while younger reporters say that it's "an exciting time to be in the media" because technology is transforming everything. I find myself with a mix of those attitudes. I guess I am wearily excited or excitedly weary. I do think it will be cool to learn to shoot video and blog and do podcasts but I just hope it actually translates to money for the paper.
In other news, it snowed in the mountains today. Once it's March I consider snow to be morally wrong if not downright evil.
