We actually live in gerontocratic societies and the power of young people
is just an illusion.  Age of US congressists[*] is a good evidence of that.
Young people are just being used by soft power to agressively market
new technologies.  What it is truth however, is that they enjoy playing
their part at the stage, and they are even convinced of it themselves.
Lennart is a paradigmatic example.
