Bill Maher once said that he didn't think the current mindset towards racism and sexism should be applied to ageism. He said something like "Damnit, they're kids, they're not real people yet, they're still developing".. I added the "damnit" I think.
Although, he was talking about the young people not the old people.
Still, I think ageism is fairly valid in some cases.
I agree there's a lot of wasted resources out there. I disagree that games are a "misapplication of technology", because if everyone was 100% serious 100% of the time.. well.. that would just be stupid.
