No, I don't believe so. Age is not a factor in keeping up with the IT/High Tech industry - I don't think people should really look at age unless they really want a person to stick with the company for 50+ years.
If age is important, it surely isn't as important in IT as it is in sports!! A 50 year old playing soccor for Brazil in the World Cup...hmmm...I can't see that happening.
