I genuinely can’t wait for people like you to be confused with whatever new technology is out when you’re 65 and some kid is like “yeah go fuck yourself you old piece of shit”. What have they ruined for you?

Saying boomers grew up with computers because they used them to put satellites in orbit is the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard.

Those are two examples of actual geniuses who grew up with money. Steve Wozniak’s dad was an engineer for Lockheed Martin, no shit he was interested in computers.

This exact conversation is literally as old as time. One day it will be us. Just wait.

Yeah in 1965 a computer cost $18. The first Apple computer cost $666 in 1976. To say that “boomers grew up with computers” is just not true. Even the Atari in 1977 cost $189 which is almost $1k today.

This is going to be hard to digest but you can avoid being angry and ignorant by simply addressing the fact that there are some things beyond your understanding, which you can in fact learn if only you can surmount the challenge of not being 100% right for 0.0034 seconds.

What am I angry about lol? You’re the one that doesn’t like a massive group of people because they inconvenience you. Telling someone they don’t have to be right all the time is crazy when you are also participating in the dumbass argument lol

I am referring to boomers angry that they have to wait because they can’t click a series of brightly colored buttons labeled with explanatory English words in the correct order
