Oh my goddd literally
My boomer take is that not everything needs an app, not everything needs to be a subscription service, not everything needs to be sleek & tech-y & monetized, etc etc etc. It's so annoying & soul killing

'old man yells at cloud' moment but it's TRUE

My boomer take is that if you buy a single player video game, there is absolutely no good reason why you should be online in order to be able to play said game.

My boomer take is that a lot of the skincare trend online is super overblown and mostly just artificial demand created by the wellness/health industry

Yeah, keeping your skin clean and properly moisturized will probably help you avoid blemishes and pimples and stuff - but there is no way a 12-step skincare routine will do more for you than like a 2-3-step one would and there is nothing you can do to undo ageing

My boomer take is that the vast majority of high school and college students---yes, even the literature majors---are functionally illiterate. Like, cannot derive meaning or significance from a text without information and context being spoon-fed to them. Of course, the pandemic played a significant part in this but I think it was already getting pretty bad before, probably a combination of our age group learning to read during the reading wars, and as a consequence, many of us were taught with whole language as opposed to phonics, and of course growing up with the ability (and eventually the need) to carry a mini computer trying to keep our attention for as long as it can so it can sell us things. Things like the ability to purchase the *vibe* of being scholarly, leaving the overwhelming majority of my peers into shit like ~dark academia~ and its many, many derivatives, only able to talk about works from the English literary canon, if they have actually managed to read them at all without the help of sparknotes or wikipedia (so already less than 15 percent of any given lit class), with absolute uncritical reverence or vague, fandom-y picks that fail to meaningfully interact with ideas or themes--"I didn't like this character because I just felt like he was annoying." And without any backbone at that. "I feel like" and "I don't know I could be wrong but" have begun plaguing classrooms, and I understand it might just be humility, but the overwhelming majority of the time someone talking about a text uses either of those phrases they are going to say the most vapid and meaningless sentence known to man. I think what pisses me off is that I go to a private pwi and am surrounded by some of the most privileged the United States middle class, and by extension, the world has to offer, and because of the aforementioned mini computers, they have every opportunity to be intellectually curious and build rigor if they actually wanted to. But that's the thing, right? They don't. They do not want to study difficult texts or be able to engage in these century+ long discourses, good or bad. They want to look like *scholars*. They want to buy tweed blazers to post on their tl and get into an expensive university to take photos of the cobblestone or buy worn classical texts to make a tumblr or tiktok post about how studious they are. But they are equally unwilling as they are incapable of actually interacting with any of it. This may sound harsh, or like I believe I'm better than them, and that's the fucked up thing. I'm the world's most mid student, alright? Thirty years ago I would be considered a dumbass. But because I read the bare minimum and am able to contextualize information, I am routinely treated like a TA in every lit course I'm in. And it's because you're always on that damn phone.

Adding on to this as my boomer take is that rude and inappropriate social behavior is becoming more and more accepted. Blaming this on millennial parents and their “soft parenting” and leaving ipads with their kids. Social media plays a big factor as they’re promoting this as something trendy. Adults are not safe from this as main character syndrome and just being self-centered and inconsiderate to the people around them are becoming more prevalent. Not a lot of people see other people as humans anymore ie npc behavior or sm shit.
