<p>Part of the boomer effect with respect to technology comes from shifts in what's considered basic communication infrastructure over time. For my generation it's email and SMS. For an older generation it was phone calls and letters. I've been putting more effort into getting to know people in my area recently, and it is *so* painful: everything is Instagram, Discord, and Twitter (yes really, Twitter, still!). I feel like a dinosaur. Most people wont even respond to emails.</p>
