Average age of EEV user
« on: April 22, 2014, 10:58:00 am »
Hi

I'm just curious to know the average age of the EEV user, don't be offended ;) if you don't want to vote than don't  :-+.
The funniest thing about this signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything its too late to stop reading it.

why do your age brackets get wider for 51 and past? :P

doesn't affect me but I'm curious.

Combine 0-10 and 11-20 to > 20 and eliminate the 100+ because, and you know it, it's just a joke option.  I have a feeling that you're going to get quite a few 51-70's here but I'll bet the overall average is 41-50.

actually, I'd personally be curious about the <=10 bracket.

True.  I think there's a kid on here, or used to be,  that's 11 (at least if he was telling the truth).  I would have been here at that age but things were far different back in '79.

It's the internet, so 21-30 will always dominate.

From what's displayed as I type this (25/77), the statistics are bearing this out.

Well I feel 100 but that's not how I voted. Some of the supposed young-uns on this forum have been perpetually 15 and 17 years old  so the original poster should have a 'suspended animation' classification. Or may-be "I am travelling at light speed".

You are welcome (assuming you were thanking the older generations for making it possible that is) :)

Working on the wisdom part.  To paraphrase-wisdom comes from experience.  Experience comes from bad experience! ;D  Had a lot of both over the years.

May I represent my 20 month old daugther who sucessfully turned on some devices (psu, counter, ham radio stuff) at home when I was at work and mom not looking, and also made a connection from a power supply to a multimeter, even with the right polarity? Only watching me when I browse this forum, not active by herself.

i'm genuinely surprised the number of users in the 31-40 age bracket is smaller than the 41-50 bracket.

edit: added extra text for clarity.

Just wondering, what's the legal age for holding soldering iron.

No, the bracket is the same size at 10 years. It is the 51-70 that is different.  :)

I hope the 100+ got a telegram from the queen. If they are in the Commonwealth.

I meant the number of people from that age bracket, but thanks.

I was stopped from buying a soldering iron in maplin when I was 17, even though there is not a legal age, really pissed me off. I just went somewhere else
