I'm curious about the demographic that occupies these groups.

On these newsgroups, I get the impression the young people do not use,
or do not like to use USENET. Perhaps they are somewhere else.
It was not like this10 to 15 years ago. And, there is a lot
of frustrated old people around here.


I know, the young are busy talking on the cell phone or are on the Ipod, are
saying blogging, and awesome.

Well we used to say Groovy, and Far Out, and used pay phones.

I'm 51 and have lived in the Bay Area all my life. I studied
Broadcasting at CSM back in the 70's, when they still had a hands on
program with Dan Odum. KCSM was on channel 14 and still in Black and
White. KCSM-TV had the ability to go color, at least on a part time
basis, but they purposely stayed in Black and White to give the
illusion of broadcast poverty, in order to help secure a grant to
increase power and to change frequencies to channel 60. The plan
worked remarkably well. They got everything they wanted, but the
students ended up getting shafted. Luckly that happened after I
graduated!

act
like little kids.



I'm seeing a lot of those "older people acting like kids" right here
on this group (insulting one another).


You know what? I made that same observation years ago...

10 to 15 years ago there weren't Web-based forums. In fact, 15 years
ago there wasn't a Web as we know it. Google Groups may have been the
salvation of Usenet.

Actually, someone operating a for-profit news server could build some
market share by touting the uncensored nature of Usenet. They could
sell access and news clients for those people who don't have them.

That's not electrical engineering, that's computer science.

This is just a small sample of what I know, because this is what I
work upon every day..... but I suspect a lot of it you have no clue
what it's about. And that's fine. Because I don't expect one person
to know everything there is to know about EE.

Not to denigrate Penn State, but graduates of the major EE (as
differentiated from CS) schools are expected to be fluent in most if
not all areas of ELECTRICAL engineering. Look at the exam syllabus
for registration of a PE and see how much you are fluent with.

I'm registered as a PE (Electrical) in four states and eligible for
registration in all the others as well as in foreign countries. I am
also licensed to practice law in all California and Federal courts and
before the Federal Communications Commission.

Are you?

I never did answer the title question - I'm 71 and the VP - General
Counsel and Engineering Manager of a major communications consulting
engineering firm in California. We design microwave and public safety
communication systems and submit necessary documentation to get them
licensed. We neither sell nor install equipment, but we do provide
our clients with project management services and with expert testimony
in disputes.
