Great guy know is an actual boomer, grew up in Canada and then London after the war (dad was an MP). That dude took a passenger ship from Canada to UK and then back.
Was in Jolly ol' England at the right to see the Beatles before they were the Beatles.
He was doing things with palm pilots and computers that no senior citizen should have been doing if this ageist shit was in anyway accurate
Gen X - who, let's face it, wrote most of this stuff - gets forgotten again.
That’s cool. We’re used to being forgotten and this way nobody will ask us to fix their computer.
By that logic, Bill Gates and Steve Wozniak were Boomers so Boomers all know how to fix computers.
Let's face it, "generational" assumptions are all too coarse to be valuable - and are probably just another way to separate and divide us all so we stop thinking about how to take down the ruling classes.

i figured gen z would start fixing my computer once i hit my current age (41); turns out i dont know any gen z's that understand how computers work.
im really tired of being everyone's tech support :(
I am gen z and just writing my bachelor's thesis for computer science/Cybersecurity. Many of my peers are in CS too.
as a software engineer who didnt go to college, i am not talking about programming; i have peers at work who have a masters degree in CS who know nothing about computers.
i'm talking about troubleshooting problems and fixing them by telling your boomer aunt what to do over a video call when her keyboard makes her computer too slow for her cat to read her favorite comic when she presses the "G" key.
I know of one, and it’s my kid. And they’re just as frustrated as I am about how little their peers know about computers
