Excuse me?! It is disingenuous to infer that a complete demographic doesn't know about how the Internet works.
For some late-age Boomers, I would agree that a large percentage of them would do this, but Gen-Xers are in their 40s and 50s, and most of them have literally grown up surrounded by technology.

- mavhc 5y agoTo be fair, your mother has a child who posts on HN, she's not the average 66 year old.
- mattowen_uk 5y agoLate-age boomers are in their mid-70s, not mid-60s. Edit: Did my grandparent comment get voted down because people don't know what 'disingenuous' means?
- hunterb123 5y agoNo, some of HN is apparently ageist and loves Reddit boomer memes. You got downvoted for calling GP out. I flagged him because it's offensive and a sweeping generalization.

- hermitsings 5y agoWhatever I said, I apologize to anyone who's hurt.
- hermitsings 5y agoI forgot to say "some/few" and I swear it was what I had in mind. Not the entire population. But I am sorry.
