“Water is wet”.
This is based on my personal observations. The Boomers in my own family distrust all doctors because of what ever adolf1488 or whoever is posting on Twitter. And they seem to be entertained by some of the most obvious AI slop videos that feels like the digital version of jingling keys in front of a toddler’s face.
The same people that told me that “TV will rot my brain” seem to have no information literacy.

Yeah, I am a millennial, 39 this year, and my dad is far more addicted to his computer than I am, I even work in IT.
He used to sell railroad safety systems (and was a brilliant sales person who actually knew and still knows the technical details of the system)
My brother uses a cellphone at the dinner table at family gatherings and he even plays a video while the rest of us are talking.
My friend was using his cellphone during a poker game with the phone stand up so he can scroll while we’re playing. He also just throws iPads to his kids this entire weekend at cottage.
I’m gonna copy Seinfeld (especially with his pro-IDF shit but anyways …) about cellphones about rudeness but do we even know what rudeness is any more? it’s like I’m gonna hold this device to your face and then I’m going to compare what’s more interesting to me …
