摘要

摘要本文关注的是当代科技中的年龄刻板印象和年龄歧视。学术界对这一话题的关注很少。因此,我们打算通过研究科技行业对年龄的看法,围绕科技中的年龄歧视展开讨论。我们的研究基于对世界各地18名不同年龄的科技工作者的采访。根据我们的受访者,35岁以上的科技工作者在科技行业被认为是老年人。年长的科技工作者预计将成为管理者,被认为对新技术不太感兴趣,在学习新软件时会面临更多挑战。我们还研究了不同年龄段的科技工作者如何体验公司作为游乐场的创业价值观,保持饥饿,并用技术改变未来,以及这些价值观如何影响他们的职业生涯。我们得出的结论是,通过与年龄相关的一些刻板印象,年龄歧视在当代科技中得到了强化。

Perceptions of age in contemporary tech
Abstract This article attends to age stereotypes and ageism in contemporary tech. In academia, little attention has been devoted to this topic. Therefore, we intend to initiate a discussion around ageism in tech by studying perceptions of age in the tech industry. Our study is based on interviews with 18 tech workers around the world of varying age. According to our interviewees, tech workers over 35 are considered old in the tech industry. Older tech workers are expected to become managers, thought to become less interested in new technology, and expected to have more challenges when learning new software. We also look at how tech workers of different age groups experience entrepreneurial values of the company as a playground, staying hungry, and changing the future with technology, and how these values influence their professional careers. We conclude that ageism is reinforced in contemporary tech through several stereotypes related to age.
