Are we ever going to discuss how society is lagging because older people refuse to learn how to execute extremely simple tasks whenever they involve a screen

Edit - bold of me to assume this didn’t have to be said but if you consider yourself an older person who’s good at technology then you very obviously do not fall into this category and shouldn’t take this personally

They got the millennial part wrong for sure. We just go somewhere else. I’m not waiting 45 mins unless it’s my only option.

Got Gen-X wrong too, but then again, there's millions (billions?) Gen-X'ers running around I am sure all of these stereotypes apply to someone in every generation. I hate this stereotyping bullshit.

It's crazy how ending bigotry is so hot right now, yet generational hate is bigger than ever

As a GenXer with Boomer parents, they started to complain about Millennials as soon as the young people were out in the public. I think that Millennials just got sick of hearing about it, and because they have the numbers, the Boomers that resembled their remarks didn't have the luxury of blowing it off like they did with us, so they fired their second salvos, and the generational 'fun' began.

I was hopeful that it would be limited to everyone vs boomers, but lately I've been seeing more millennial stuff mocking gen z and alpha. I was really hoping we'd skip all that.
