Reddit thread about boomers using the internet

“As a boomer, not surprised. My generation was taught to sit in front of the teevee and absorb information. It was one way communication. Too many remain set in that mode; when they receive information that reinforces their preconceived notions they feel the need to share it rather than analyze it objectively.”

Reddit thread about boomers using the internet
