He's nearly a senior citizen. Senior citizens don't embrace things like youtube and the like. Relish the memories and enjoy his past work, but accept the fact that he will not be embracing new technologies anymore. It's over.
Firstly, welcome to the board. Secondly, I don't believe that's neccesarily true. Don's dislike of youtube has nothing to do with his age. If technology in 1984 had been what is today and youtube had been around he would have probably said the same thing. For example Stevie Nicks doesn't have a computer, but her dislike of computers goes as far back as the mid-eighties when she was dating Joe(I can't remember where I read this but it was in a Stevie interview). Also, while I'm a younger fan, some of the fans here are closer to Don's age and probably wouldn't appriciate that old man remark. (on a side note: Bette Midler, who is older than Don, has said that she loves youtube)
