As a boomer, reading this thread/discussion has been so amusing in many ways while enjoying my cuppa tea this morning. A classic "the younger generations are stupid."

The older generations looking down the ones that follow. And the following generations looking down on those that precede them. And no one understanding ain't none of us are all that bright.

Ever has it been, and so ever shall it be.

    Nah, that's pretty spot on. The axe, conveniently forgetting what the trees are forced to remember, and then attempting to rewrite history, years later.

    That's pure Boomerism.

    Maybe that's what it means to you. I don't think that's a generally shared view.

    It moreso means "Ok, old, out of touch person who wants to bloviate and/or gaslight me about some minutiae. I hear you, and I reject your input, but because you take any pushback as a threat to your identity, I'm going to be incredibly succinct to avoid further back and forth."

    A classic “the younger generations are stupid.”

    There is some of that, but ultimately I know that it really isn't Zoomers' fault. They were never taught how to properly use a computer, a responsibility that should have been done by their Gen X/Millennial parents.

    And of course there are many that do. This is just dealing in generalities.
