Old-think 

To view modern invents or tasks in the "old way of doings things". Not catching onto and using common terminology and modern society advancing ideas.

By saying that it's necessary for someone to continually work hard even though they feel unwell, just because you and your grandparents worked hard is old think. Society should seek to advance until everyone's basic needs are met and beyond without the need to work into absurdity. "Old think" says to continually work hard "above and beyond" even though the job might be a cyclical job, rather than simply performing the jobs tasks satisfactorily and having a better work life load. Ideal society focuses on family not work. The hard work was done building the country, now we can do the easy work of maintaining and upgrading the firmware Little bits at a time. We moved out of the garden into cities, with the goal of getting back to the garden. Make life easier not harder which doesn't mean working till you drop. Old think.

oldthinker 

A newspeak word invented by george orwell in his book 1984.

An oldthinker is one who clings to old or outmoded ways of thought. Orwell defines it as, "... typical sentence .... as 'Oldthinkers unbellyfeel Ingsoc'. The shortest rendering that one could make of this in Oldspeak would be: 'Those whose ideas were formed before the Revolution cannot have a full emotional understanding of the principles of English Socialism.' But this is not an adequate translation.....

Used by geeks in a perjorative way about anyone who is not techno-savvy.

"My Dad's a real Oldthinker - he won't even have a mobile phone !"

"Come the Revolution, all you Oldthinkers will be put up against a wall and shot !"
