I find it mind-boggling that he has been doing this for 50+ years.

IKR? I was a very young man and 40 years ago, I went to a talk* by Kay who I thought was 'old' at the time (haha) and this was already 15 years after he started at Xerox as a 30 year old! Now it's 2024 and I feel old... It was a pleasure to see his talk 40 years ago and awesome to again watch a talk today from an 83 year old Kay.

* after the talk, we even shared a cab to the airport and he graciously entertained all of my questions.
