Yeah I don't mean to malign the contributions of Boomers who were scientists and engineers.
But there is an overwhelming cohort of Boomers who "got theirs" during the unprecedented decades of post-war prosperity who simply never bothered to learn modern technology. I started my career in IT support and even highly educated Boomers simply didn't see any reason for them to learn basic computing skills.
Literally professional office workers who flat out refused to adopt to a modern office environment. Calendars, emails, printers, website updates, no thank you.
The attitude I heard frequently is that they got this far without learning how to send an email, so why bother now? I think it was only when technology became a simple glass slab with no buttons (and their kids/grandkids photos) did you see them start to adopt it.
There is just no way anyone born after their generation could have that mindset.

I’m not sure it’s reasonable to criticize a generation for not adopting technology until they had a real reason for them to do it. Why would they?
