My wife and I started talking about this after she had to help an old lady at the DMV figure out how to use her iPhone to scan a QR code. We’re in our early 40s.

So you See that a generalization of a whole generation isn’t accurate. And then you do another generalization on a whole generation that’s wildly inaccurate.
How else? Anyone knows each member of each generation so we can interview each person what their experience is?
It’s inaccurate to say something about “all” boomers and equally inaccurate to say something about any other group. But we like to discuss the general behavior we have observed. It won’t fit all, and we understand that.
Without making any generalizations, we would have to say “in my life, this is what I have observed about x”. That’s every opinion, ever, going into that category.
So when i read something about boomers, I read it as “this person’s opinion about boomers”. How else?
It becomes a problem when you discriminate people based on your ideas of how their generations behave, i.e., when you’re the one giving out jobs.
