Boomers Fumbling Through The Digital Age - 10 Hilarious Blunders
Boomers have it rough. On the one hand, you have pleasant memories of your carefree and relatively simple upbringing. But, on the other, you have to try and fit into a world that's drastically changed since your younger days.
The modern world is a confusing place for Boomers. It can be a struggle to keep up with the ever-changing norms of society, from the increasing prevalence of technology to the fast-moving pace of life. Likewise, it can be challenging to keep up with the latest trends and the modern way of doing things.
The Boomer has to adapt to a world that's vastly different from the one in which they grew up. It can be challenging to adjust to new mannerisms, habits, values, and ways of communicating.
They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Unfortunately, it looks like the boomers are the old dogs in this situation because modern life has a slew of new tricks they don't get. From newfangled apps to the latest tech gadgets, boomers are often left scratching their heads.
