    The struggle is, we all live long enough to be the next boomers. Maybe in 10 years it is: “OK, Gen-X”

      I think what’s happening is Millenials are starting to get the “OK Boomer”.

        Yep it’s just a phrase now and people don’t know what boomer was.

      Before I deleted Facebook entirely, I briefly flirted with a Facebook group of Aussie gen xers for a bit of nostalgia, and I had to quit after only a few weeks because the ‘back in my day’ crowd became too insufferable. It’s already happened.

      And while gen X definitely were instrumental in creating much of modern tech, most of them are still pretty hopeless at it. Watching some of my similarly aged colleagues trying to use a computer is an exercise in frustration.
