#40: Those GD Cellphones
I think we can all agree that Boomers love to hate on Millennials; well, maybe not “hate” on them, but they love complaining about millennials and their ways. Especially, they love complaining about how millennials are always glued to their phones. We’ve seen several tweets about that- which means it’s a real soft spot for millennials.
The truth is, Baby Boomers are just as glued to their smartphones as Millennials, if not more so. They just use them differently; Millennials use their phones mostly for texting and connecting with people (and an occasional scroll through Instagram or Twitter), while Boomers are obsessed with reading the news and not missing out on anything on their Facebook feed.
