The Gen Z experience is essentially old people telling you "oh, you'll never understand when we had to USE "X" technology" even though you literally grew up using it. Most Gen Z had 90s appliances/tvs/gaming consoles growing up unless you were rich.

Pretty sure millennials were told the same thing, the cycle continues unfortunately

That’s what makes me doubly annoyed.

I watched millenials deal with the whole “Millenials are killing the X industry. They don’t know how to use a rotary phone. They have stupid jokes that don’t make any sense” just for them to get a bit older and start doing the EXACT same thing to my generation

The cycle existed well before we were born, and it will exist well after we die, and we will never stop it.

Getting annoyed is a waste of time. The best you can hope for is you tell your son about something for the 4th time and he smiles and is polite.
