When I was child, I never told my parents: “When I grow up, I want to be a fullstack Ruby on Rails developer.”

There is a reason for this. These software jobs did not exist. There was no such thing as the internet, as we know it, nor the spectacular array of jobs like these that it has spawned.On United States job sites last week, salaries of up to US$175,000 were being offered to those who know that Python and Ruby are computer programming languages, and UX means user experience, as in the experience of using a website.

They can run it from their laptop by the beach in an agreeable remote-working spot, with other digital nomads. It would be one thing if parents had done such jobs themselves, but the tender age of many tech workers makes this unlikely. Then there is the wider problem of the digitally excluded, people who flounder when they suddenly have to use an app to park their car, or a website to check their bank balance.

That story prompted campaigner Esther Rantzen to tell the BBC that “very often, decisions are made by people in their forties who literally have no understanding that anyone older should feel differently about the decision they’re making”.“I’ve been frustrated on certain mobile apps,” a 35-year-old American named Biron Clark told me last week.
