I got that a while back talking about old video games. “Eww you played DOS games? What a boomer”
No, no that makes me mad. I was learning to navigate the DOS shell to set up Duke Nukem (skills I still use at my job today) while my boomer parents yelled at me to stop wasting my life on the computer and come in the living room to watch another six hours of Bonanza reruns.
I like to think back to when I was a young lad, making fun of old people. The ones who got angry reinforced my naïve perspectives, and the ones who took it in stride with humility taught me to not be so judgemental.
It’s hard, but we millennials have to exemplify humility for the younger generations, even though we didn’t have many role models ourselves.
It also means more people will actually use it, so its kind of a double edged sword I guess; but its heartbreaking seeing a generation that is supposed to be tech savvy only be able to understand social media ui and the settings app on their iPad.

That’s the difference. Bah, burns me up

Now that technology “just works”, younger people will miss a lot of opportunities to learn troubleshooting and problem solving

They are not tech savvy though. It’s like cars everyone has one but a few are mechanics.
