It feels weird to me that some hackers don't know what a 6502 is! Sign of my age I guess.

Days ago a user who declared to be a Google employee wrote that many of his colleagues have no idea what RSS is. (No, sign of the times.)

Earlier this year, I wrote a 6502 emulator and discovered that none of my coworkers even know what the 6502 was. Almost every conversation resulted in me saying: "You know the NES? It used a 6502 as a CPU".

As time goes on my experience is that I get more and more intellectually and spiritually isolated, even in a globally connected society. Perhaps it's an inevitable part of continuing personal deveopment in a society changing dramatically over time.
