As much as boomers and millennials seem to love warring on the internet over who screwed the world up, we can't let ourselves forget how awesome old people can be, especially when they attempt to use some new kind of tech for the first time. It's also important to remember that we're all going to be boomers some day—time will make sure of that. And hopefully in the decades to come, when millennials inevitably hold the boomer torch, we'll end up on meme pages that poke fun at our little incompetencies.

But who knows, maybe in 50 years artificial intelligence will have accelerated the human species into technological singularity, where all consciousness will merge into one transcendent super-intelligence and funny generational gaffes will be a thing of the distant past. But I'm getting ahead of myself here. It's still 2022 and we're lightly poking fun of grandmas and grandpas who think the family group text is also the Google search bar.
