Baby boomers get a bad rap in mainstream culture, often regarded as aging kooks who frequently yell at America’s youth to get off their lawns. However, as much as millennials and Gen Zers refuse to admit it, boomers are right about many things.
People used to live in a period when watches kept track of time, nothing more, nothing less – with no chance of spying on you. That does sound nice, doesn’t it?
Sometimes simpler is better with many things, kitchen appliances being just one example. “Why would I want a toaster that has to connect to the internet?” laments one baby boomer.
From people chatting away on their cell phones in public to gymgoers playing music so loud you can hear it even though they’re wearing headphones, and people broadcasting their lives on the internet daily, boomers are right on the mark here.
