    Create guides for boomers

    lol. Babyboomers and Gen X invented and built the internet. We programmed VCR’s and could navigate dial-up settings for v90modems. Maybe write a guide for gen Z, as anything more complex than a swipe is too much technology for them XD

      I feel there’s more nuance to this and this is an inaccurate and disingenuous generalisation.

      A very small portion of baby boomers and gen x were involved in this compared to the masses who simply exist as sheep.

      The “enlightened” ones are a minority in every generation from what I can see.

      I also feel this whole my generation > your generation is just another mechanism of segregation. Instead let us bring forth our collective knowledge of setting VCR times and laugh about getting to the last floppy/stiffy disk in a set and finding corruption because… magnets.

      Heck, genXers are the only generation who can set the clock on a VCR. A skill now lost to time and technology.

        It really is just Gen Z. Millenials were programming shit and bashing everything together with hardware and software adaptors as kids. Gen Z grew up in the world of the slick interface that just works.
