Quote:I've seen this a lot in my career. I'm talking real boomers btw. Not the slang term that just means anyone over 30 lol.
One could say tech literacy is an issue, but Google and Youtube exist, though?
But even before widespread smartphones. I remember fixing stuff like office printers at work when stuff got stuck. I was just a curious guy lol. It wasn't hard. But to Boomer, their whole day is ruined lol.
Where does this come from?
I have a theory that a lot of Boomers like to talk through their problems via complaining and it's like a social bonding thing with them. I'd rather just solve it ASAP. idk.
