It’s CE Week in New York City, and technology blog gdgt (say it like “gadget”) is hosting VIP & press preview hours for swanky new gadgets. This time, they want AARP members there. Badly.

See, here’s the thing: the 22-year-olds might be the first in line for a new smartphone, but the 62-year-olds are the ones carrying the wallet. Plus, they’ve been around the block a time or two, and they’ve got a good idea what works and what’s just hot air and flimflammery.
