Your post seems to be highlighting technical skills as an area where modern people don't benefit from elder knowledge. As a GenXer who started on the Commodore PET at 12, I see both sides of this: the Boomers generally suck, and yet, a fair percentage of millennials (my own kids included) have only basic computer literacy (except when it comes to phones/tablets). I agree with your point that there is potential value in elder wisdom when it comes to soft skills and general EQ. And yet, the Boomers generally suck (particularly when looked at through the lens of their ability to resist media influence) and millennials (and Y/Alpha) seem to have started much further along the journey than previous gens. I guess my conclusion is that subsequent generations should be yelling at boomers to get off our lawns and only buy your kid touch-based computing devices. /s
