I wonder what kind of scam my generation will be falling for when we get old.
There was a study recently (last year?) that found Millennials are more likely to fall for online scams than Boomers and Gen-X.
The reason is because Boomers and Gen-X grew up during the advent of the internet, when there was a lot of media about the dangers online. Millennials (and presumably Z's, too) never knew life before the internet, and didn't get all those warnings when it was spinning up, so they trust what they see more.
- ksenzee 1y agoInteresting. As it happens I’m Gen X, and possibly we’re more wary than millennials now, but I fully expect cognitive decline to affect that.
- reaperducer 1y agoCognitive decline with age is not a certainty.
- ksenzee 1y agoOld age itself isn’t a certainty, but I’m planning for it anyway.
