People have a lot to say about the baby boomer generation - not always positive things - but it turns out, they may just be right about a few things. A since-deleted Reddit thread is bringing those opinions together by asking, “What’s your ‘boomer’ opinion?” It seems many folks have thoughts on this subject and these are some of the best from the nearly 10-thousand responses.
- "People share way too much on social media. You don’t need to record every second of your life. Live in the moment every once in a while."
- "Scr*w touchscreens. I want physical buttons...especially in the car when I don’t want to take my eyes off the road. Physical buttons are more accessible for people with disabilities, and they’re just generally more satisfying to push."
- "TV is getting too dark and too quiet. I swear we have to turn the volume up twice as loud as we have it to watch ‘Yellowstone.’ You better believe the commercials have plenty of volume, though..."
- "I hate going to concerts and seeing everyone with their phones up, video-recording the whole thing. What's the point in paying for a concert ticket if you're not going to dance or actually enjoy it?"
- "I will never own an e-reader. I understand why it’s convenient to have because you can carry a bunch of books with you at all times, but nothing compares to a real paper book."
- "I just want to speak to a real person on the telephone when I have to call a business."
- "Paper menus are far superior to QR codes. Half of the time, the menu won't even load."
- "Paying good money for a product that doesn't do the thing it says on the box until you install their bullshit app on your phone. This makes me want to start a fight."
- "Music in bars is too loud! I want to find just one bar where I can talk to my friends without screaming."
- "I like CDs better than digital music. I just think they sound better, and they’re way easier to play in my car than having to screw around with an aux cord or bluetooth connection."
- "Automated menus on customer service lines are the worst."
- "Picking out a video at the store was better than looking through Netflix for something to watch."
