When I buy something , I want it to work without having to download a fucking app . Absolutely nothing pisses me off more.
Yes, I refuse to have any apps on my phone that didn't come with it. The only exception being a scientific calculator.
The only reason they want you to download their poxy app is for all your data which they then sell and they can monitor your every move (with your FULL consent in the terms of use)
Every time I go to the imdb site I'm encouraged to go onto their app for numerous unspecified "advantages" and discouraged from continuing on the Web page.
You have to ask why?
The Web page is there, it works, despite their ongoing attempts to self sabotage it with LIMITLESS BLOODY ADS--- And an app obviously costs extra financing to produce and maintain--- so, why?
Very valuable info, yours, to be precise. That's why.
If we don't stop this shit now we are fucked
FUCKED!!
I glad I'm not the only one! I hate apps! The minute I hear that I can set something up with an app I go ape s***! LOL! I use my cell phone to make calls and receive them only. I'm using UA-cam on my desktop, not my cell phone. If I get texted, I'll ignore it.
@@tonycollazorappo The thing is, in most situations you don't actually need an app; a standard web-site does the job perfectly well. However, companies like you to download their apps because they then get more control over you.
I guess bicycles e bikes are next but I hope not
I don't want my front door, porch lights, refrigerator, oven, shower, toilet, washer or my car to connect to the internet.
What? You don't want your butt to a media influencer and mint nfts?
Got a nice outdoor light from Cree: dimmable (which I needed) and colorable via app, which kinda made sense (complex settings).
But a few months ago they started requiring a user account and login. To dim a light bulb 20 feet away.
No more Cree products for me.
the only reason I see to connect a refrigerator to the internet is so you can download a gallon of milk when you run out late at night. when they can do that, I'll connect mine to the internet.
Smart appliances are cloud storage.
@@abandonedotter4270 I don't need to store clouds. they are a renewable resource.
I still chuckle when I tell people I’m not on Facebook or twitter(x), never have been, never will and they look at me like I have an illness. They ask me, but how do you stay in touch with people? I speak to them, I ring them, I send them a card, I visit them. If they’re interstate, I’ll email them or ring them. I certainly don’t feel a need to tell them about every meal I’ve had and how awesome it was, or how I’m feeling, or if I’m feeling sad. Technology has its benefits but is not a replacement for basic human interaction and connection.
Glad I'm not the only one who refuses to drink the social media kool-aid.
Ditto Mark! Sometimes I get that 'just fell off the moon' look when I say I don't do social media and by any, I mean all!
I found out how you can be abused on Facebook about 15 years ago and dumped that site like a radioactive pile of SH!T. Will never go back and now that Twitter is owned and operated by someone only slightly less authoritarian than Mussolini I will not only not have an account there I will not click on your witty find at that site no matter what the new owner calls it, or how clever you think your fwd retweet is. And why is it assumed you or I have to keep in touch with those people? I figured out about the same time I dumped Facebook that some of the responsibility for staying in touch is on those people and not all on me. So now we are not in touch, and even my best friend growing up all those years, turned out I was doing all the lifting in that friendship, they could not be bothered to pick up a phone. Maybe that makes me look bad, but I don't care, I am better off with a F'ing cat.
I tried Farcebook out nearly 20 years ago and found it to be a waste of time, soI closed my account, back when you could actually delete everything and leave. I watch YT and thats as close to 'unsocial media' as I want to be.
Never ever will be or have been
Notice the number of businesses that are now virtually uncontactable? Replacing phone operators and tech support with ineffective bots that can only reassert what is in the FAQ, all for “improved” customer service.
One company has made it impossible to unsubscribe from their junk mail, I can't even block them. Grrr
Joan: I live in SE Asia. Last summer I had to go to the US. While there I had to buy a phone because my "international" Samsung won't work on any US carriers service.
So I bought one with a 90 day prepaid "contract". I was told that I could cancel it by calling the carrier. I left after 90 days and was prepaid for the entire following month. I was too busy putting connecting flights together the day I left to call.
Anyway, by looking at the AT&T site I have to use my handheld device to contact AT&T to cancel and it won't work from SE Asia.
They continue to bill me each month with a charge for the next month even though the 90 days expired 5 months ago and the phone hasn't been used since the day in August when I left the country and is no longer connected to their system.
That's another reason I opted to pay by cash every month instead of saving $10 by paying with a credit card. They'd still be charging my credit card for each "delinquent" month plus late charges. What is it about 90 days they don't understand?
I experienced the same problem with AOL when I moved to Thailand in 2022. My sister in the US kept calling them to cancel my subscription and they said "OK" but they never did and it took my card being compromised and canceled to stop them.
Pro tip: Don't give your CC number to any of these corporate thieves unless absolutely necessary!
@@joanderson2055 Being unable to unsubscribe to a company's junk mail used to aggravate me. Now, I just laugh at how much it is costing them to send me something that I do not even look at.
Several companies have done this, making it impossible to unsubscribe. I just send them straight to Spam and delete them regularly 😊
@@joanderson2055After pestering you to death, do these companies think you're going to purchase their product or service?
Wait until that person wearing their pants around their thighs has to run from the cops. Comic relief.
And you know they do...yo...
I tell them to "pull their pants up....they're not in prison.....YET."
in prison it's a sign you are DTF, if you know what I mean.
(And why do we have to use code words/letters just to avoid the youTube censors?)
It usual IS exactly the person with their pants/jeans/trousers worn like this who is running from the police.
Or, for when one of these "gangsters" has to fight someone.
I'm a boomer and a lucky one. My father was a great listener. As a teenage I walked with him, every Friday evening, to his club. We chose to walk because we could not be overheard. We talked about anything that was bothering me, girls, money, education, nothing was off limits. He did what he could to help but he never betrayed my trust.
That's the sort of father kids of today need but lack.
People who text or hold their phones on calls while driving should be treated exactly the same way as drunk drivers.
and if either of those hit someone, it should be treated as murder.
In the UK, driving and using a phone or similar is a traffic offence. People are killed by these selfish idiots.
In most countries they are.
Cellphone use and driving should be the latest of your worries anymore now that most every state has legalized medicinal marijuana on top of all the side affects pharmaceutical meds have.
Cellphones should have never been allowed on any job ESPECIALLY the medical care profession. My dad is now a wheelchair bound vegetable because of nurses spending every spare second on their cellphone.🤬🤬🤬🤬
Not every store/ business/restaraunt need a "Rewards" program to get me to return..just do your job to the best of your ability and I'll gladly come back!
It just to get your info.
Damn right! - 'For every $100 you spend, get 20 cents off a future purchase!!!'
You missed one. When I purchase something on-line, I'm really not interested in filling out a survey with questions such as "On a scale of 0 to 10, how likely are you to recommend us to friends and family?"
So I always answer 0 and when asked why, I explain that it's because I've got better things to do besides talking to friends and family about where I bought a bag of cement or whatever it is I bought.
Spot on! Imagine the bakery asking every single time you bought bread: "Did you have to wait a long in the bakery shop? Did the baker understand what bread you wanted? How was the flavor/freshness/color/taste?" Sod off. I'll buy your bread again if I like it; that's how you know how much I like your bakery.
And they want you to fill it out immediately after you push the "buy" button! WTH?
When you say no, they ring you up to ask why.
I’m fed up of all my appliances been smart, they’re just spying on us. You talk about something at home and you get emails, phone calls, leaflets through your door.
You do have a choice though. Buy the non-smart version or turn the Internet connectivity off. If people don’t buy it, they won’t sell it. Remember Betamax? No, you’re probably far too young😅
Proven fact!!
@@piggysister01 false advertising used to be largely restaurant/food and menu related but now it's literally everything and people still won't stop falling for the gimmicks and cons.
A common theme on a lot of these is COURTESY! It's amazing how far away we have gotten from common courtesy under the guise of "It's my right" .
I don't quite understand how the two things are connected. If I bump into someone I say "sorry" but why would I think it is my "right" to bump into them?
Boomers were taught manners daily as children,at home and school.
@@plicketyplunkI do not think this is what the writer was meaning. I think he meant the couldn’t care less attitude of those who are supposed to give good customer service but don’t have the skills of common courtesy because they feel so entitled......... but even I might be wrong.
I was raised by my parents to have good manners, something I've kept going as I've aged. This past December I went abroad for a Holiday for the first time in fifteen years, and one thing became swiftly evident. Just by using my good manners, I found restaurant and other service sector staff far happier and willing to give me their best service. 'Please' and 'Thankyou', words apparently missing from most of the younger generation's vocabulary, do actually carry a lot of power behind them!
Too many today believe they're the only person on the planet.
I'm not a baby boomer but I agree with these. I was brought up in a household with rules and it's how I've raised my own. My kids did not get their own cell phones until they were in High School. And there was no computer in their rooms either. I'm not on Facebook, twitter, or what-have-you.. It's amazing how even companies and workplaces assume everyone does everything on their phones so I had to get my manager to understand that, if she was to reach me, to call me on my landline (yes, I still have one of those). This way, I'm not at anyone's beck and call.
I'm with you on this, but the number of boomer-age and older people who feel the need to pick up the phone if it rings astonishes me. One woman I worked with would pick up the phone in the middle of a meeting. It was a compulsion "In case it's important". She defended her habit by saying that it could be a call about something happening to one of her children. I let every number I don't recognize on my cell phone roll to voice mail. We still have a landline in the house and I'm absolutely comfortable letting every call go to the answering machine. If I hear a familiar voice, I can always pick up.
Caller ID! Same with the front door peep hole. Nothing says I *have* to answer the phone *or* the door.
@@donaldwert7137. We romped our landline since all the calls were not important
That reminds me, I need to find the handset for my landline, I dont know what box its in and but the line technically is still connected.
@@starscreamthecruel8026 You may be able to locate the handset through the base.
Comments seem to be obsessed with internet matters. I wish to represent an older beef with tech - the universal use of electronic controls on all sorts of appliances (e.g. washing machines) when the old mechanical controls were just as effective and more durable. Often enough the failure of the electronic components is the reason an otherwise good appliance has to be replaced. Just another form of planned obsolescence.
So True. when I bought a new Maytag dishwasher 15 yrs ago the installer told me to set the controls before closing the door and it would last longer. I do this on my washer and dryer also. Doubt it could be done with todays models. Less bells and whistles please,
Agreed. My Dad bought one of the original commercial microwaves on sale when newer models were coming out. Analog dial for time, dial for power setting. That was back in the mid-70s; it was in constant use until it died about 10-12 years ago, so almost 40 years of continual use.
Cooktops! Used to have one of those touch-control ones. Never again. By the time we ditched it (only about ten years in), one element wouldn't function at all, another only at half-strength, while a third couldn't be turned OFF. Had a hell of a job finding one that had proper manual controls where you rotate a knob, and didn't force you to buy the super-whizzy set of pans that were the only sort it was capable of working with.
You never had to tune a TV back in the days of dials did you?
@@YeahNo Oh yeah. The old UHF and VHF dials. I was glad when we got an outside antenna to replace the rabbit ears.
Yeah, I'm a Boomer and when I was a kid the Rule was to come home when the Street Lights would go on. Not only streets, but we had fields and forests. .
I swear from my 6th Birthday till I got married at 20 my mom had zero idea where I or my younger siblings were during the day! Usually we were at the neighbors, walking down to the cemetery, playing in the brook 1/2 mile away (even during winter!), riding bikes or playing/building the treehouse. Fun times!!
@@charlottesmom In my neighborhood we also had a few streams and creeks where we could catch frogs and snakes. Using our bikes we were in range of lakes in the Winter for Ice Skating. No Cemetaries though, but for a few farms that had their own Family Plots. Oh, we had a few close by Dairy Farms and Horse Ranches, with donkies that would make the funniest noises (braying). We learned a lot and it kept us active enough so that Obesity was not a huge factor for our Generation, where only one or two kids in each class would qualitfy for the insulting gibe of being called a "Fatso". Nowaday 25% of each school class are a bunch of little pudge Fatsos.
I also heard or read somewherre that because we were exposed to so much of the environment, that our Generation has far less in the way of Environmental Allergies to contend with, because, whenwe were young we exposed our Immune Systems to EVERYTHING.... the dirtiest parts of EVERYTHING. Oh, we used to play ARMY and Cowboys and Indians in the Fields and Forests. It paid off when I joined the ARMY, leading patrols where there were no trails... what they call Bushwacking. Just having been a kid of my Generation made me an expert Bushwacker..
And we enjoy playing outside! I was born in 1961.
Every service doesn't *need* an app, but every business wants to collect your personal data!
Ding! Ding! Ding! U got that right!
Why can't they put the good shows on regular channels? Why do they have to be on these specialty channels you pay extra for? Most of the regular channels on TV are full of "reality" shows, which have nothing to do with reality at all. Junk!
a.h: Many of the movies that we have to pay to watch were B&W movies that we watched for free on TV as kids. Funny thing is, the only people that watch them these days are boomers anyhow.
@@skipperclinton1087 Most of kids today, Don't Know/Understand what it means to watch Movies made from our Generation (40'S---70'S). They only know the big Marvel's Movies, or the inconsistent Disney mushie garbage. Even the TV Shows from that period will go over Their head, ( Mod Squad, Partridge Family, Gun Smoke, Bonanza, Brady Bunch.)
@@skipperclinton1087that depends
Some gen Z may give them a chance
Because "we" let them. Just like the filth is on TV because anyone that complained got told if you don't like it, change the channel.
I've never subscribed to anymore than Netflix and only just long enough to 'catch up' or see newly added equating to no more than 3 months at a time. This most recent span of home internet (about 14 months) is the absolute longest I've ever kept it on long than 4-6 months before cutting it back off to return to my preferred MeTV antennae version of TV.
"Every store/service does not need an app". YES! This! I forget which airport I was in where I almost wasn't able to grab lunch during my layover because all the restaurants in my concourse required you to install their app to place and pay for your order; you couldn't do it in person. I barely had time to walk two concourses over to find one that still let you do it "the old-fashioned way".
Yeah, I recently bought a new washing machine and had to actively choose one that didn't have wi-fi!!!! That's insane, Nobody needs a washing machine that's connected, ffs.
That's why I go straight to craigslist and get older better built models for $125 😂
And a washer that still has an agitator!
You still have to load it, and fill the soap dispenser by hand….
I'm a boomer, and I'm sending you many thanks for pointing out the obvious!! ❤
At the grocery store I work at, there was an occasion when a woman was walking around the produce area, big open space, with her phone on speaker and was just yapping away like she was the only one in the room. Another customer called her out, not aggressively at all--just asked if she could kindly get off of speaker. She turned around and literally yelled "SHAME ON YOU" so loudly that my coworker from a department in a different area came out to see what was going on.
Needless to say, I followed the other customer and thanked him for trying.
If it's so needless, then why are you saying it?
At that point we should feel free to join in as on-speaker is clearly an invitation for sharing our opinions.....
sazzy~ I was on a rush-hour crowded bus. A woman was on her speaker phone loudly talking with someone about her recent sexual encounter. Pretty graphic. No one asked her to be quiet, but one man said he hoped the guy wasn’t on the bus, and the expressions on peoples’ faces was priceless…. 😉😁
Join in and advance an opinion about the conversation. You’ll be told to “mind your own business” whereupon you can say you were invited in to the conversation bc it was clearly a public issue.
@@buschhuhn9197 I’d be petty enough to fake a call on my phone loudly explaining the results of my latest paper smear. 😉
I so hate technology just for the sake of it. The more we use it, the more we become reliant on it and the less of a human we become.
Like the people who drive into reservoirs or onto train tracks because "the GPS told me to." If you're so clueless you can't figure out you're going into the water, you have no business operating a motor vehicle!
And yet here you are complaining about tech on a comment section🤣
don't get me wrong, i love SOME of the new things now but does it really need to be EVERYWHERE...I don't want to do online banking but all I see is this crypto crap and people using phones to pay...
I’m more worried about potential events that could wipe out our communication technology systems because of how reliant we are on it, in many ways (not just talking to each other). It’s not like we could quickly or easily fall back on a more traditional back up system. I don’t see how we’re less human because of technology, because we’ve already been using technology for millions of years in different guises.
You saying it like being human is something good.
I am a boomer and I agree. Where is the common sense in people anymore? I just had to look a certain way towards my kids if they were misbehaving and they stopped right away. I actually was the parent at all times. Yet we still had loads of fun without all the electronics of today. And what's happening in the schools today is disgusting.
All my mom had to do with us 4 was give us “that look” and damn if we didn’t straiten out instantly! My parents never ever hit us either….it was just that look you knew you were being a brat.
I feel sorry for the teachers. Maybe they should include basic MILTARY training for future teachers so they can handle these outbursts without getting hurt.
Gen x here had my 3 kds young started at 19. The terror you can induce in your offspring with the look! Daughter started working as a Prison Officer this last year in a men's prison came home after 3 months announcing "hey Mum the look works on prisoners!" At only 5ft and 7 1/2 stone I was worried about her. Did come home 1 day covered in bruises asked what the hell had happened. " one of the lads didn't obey the look! I'm fine he was still in medical when I left. Charged at me so I Rugby tackled him his head bounced off the floor!"
Lesson always obey the look! No longer worried about her. She officially becomes step Mum to 3 under 5s next year says its easier wrangling toddlers at least they understand the word NO!
It's because parents are working two or more jobs these days to make ends meet. Your average parents seem exhausted to me these days.
Same. Just one look should send the message.
Anytime you see a warning on a product that sounds stupid, you can probably guess there was a lawyer responsible it.
Or that this adage was proven true= Every time a product is made idiot-proof, along comes a stupider idiot.
I'm 67 and Still get paper bills in the mail , then write checks and mail them back out . I have control of my money . Edit to add . I made one of my grandkids give me his phone so i could ask him a few simple questions . He couldn't answer one . What's that tell you ?
A long time ago, I knew the future generations were in trouble when a math teacher made a simple change to his test. The school allowed calculators, but he disabled a number key and told the students to figure a problem without that key. Too many couldn't figure the answer right away. With the abundance of electronic gadgets, these generations have lost too many analytical as well as social skills.
I remember when we actually had to remember phone numbers, I’m 57 and still remember the phone number from the house I lived in from birth to 13! Now of course I have to ask my kids what my cell number is…(I never call myself!!)😂
Like telling analog time?
Let’s have a moment of silence. It’ll never go back to how it used to be.
It might but it'll be very messy.
The Amish figured that out
They're in the 1840s
If we go back to 1980
(That's when the piercings and green /blue hair started)
However, clothing should be slightly like the 50s
(80s were, depending on where you were)
I'm ok with everything you've said, except one. Food Delivery Services. For me they are necessary for my independence as a 76 yr old disabled person, living in my own home. That and Uber. Without Instacart and Uber I would be left out in the cold. Everyone has moved away, and I need them.
I don’t think anyone (I hope) would criticize you for using these services given the conditions of your life. Most of us have had a pizza or some other food delivery from time to time but I think the objection is perfectly healthy, mobile people who can’t be bothered to get off their ass and shop for and prepare reasonably healthy food but instead get junk delivered (and then, of course, complain about the food or the service).
You have a real valid reason to use it, most people don't.
I'm near 70, retired and use Kroger Boost and love it. For $59 a year, they'll deliver groceries for free when you spend at least $35 and use their Kroger trucks, so no having to tip Instacart. I fix all my own food at home and don't eat out. I gave my nephew my old car. I could afford to buy another used car but am doing fine without it. I stay very busy and am outdoors nearly every day walking. Everything I need is close by, plus we have great RTA bus service where I live. I have family living nearby, and of course, they all think I'm nuts.
Depends what you mean by Food Delivery Services. I have no problem with getting the weekly supermarket shopping delivered, which I was grateful for during the pandemic, but I've now reverted to going to the shop myself so I can pick the best vegetables and products with long dates.
But when it comes to deliveries from the local pizza joint etc. then definitely not. It's far better to buy a few top quality pizzas from the supermarket and bung them in the freezer. Then when you want one, 15 minutes in the oven and it's ready. Having a takeaway delivered costs at least twice as much, takes up to an hour to arrive and when it does arrive it's lukewarm and soggy. No thank you.
@@chrisengland5523 I agree about pizza delivery and takeaway for sure. I've had very good luck with Kroger delivery with their produce and the dates on everything, though. Even with my buying mostly generic or house brands, if they're out, they've substituted name brand items and not charged me the difference, so it's been a win-win for me, at least thus far this year.
Much is being enabled specifically to make younger generations weaker.
Much easier to control.
I wish that people would put away their phones long enough to look where they're going when out in public.
From a generation X I totally agree with the boomers on these matters
I found myself wanting to find a “like” button for so many of these. 😊
That list needs to be longer!!! Boomer here!!!
Boomers are always moaning about something. I would like to see a list where Boomers list everything positive about today.
@@plicketyplunk Boomers don't moan when they're being courteous, saying "thank you", holding the door for someone, or smiling at someone in the store who looks a little down. Boomers don't moan when they slip money into donation jars, share their garden bounty, shovel snow from the neighbor's sidewalk, let the elderly go in front at the check-out, or put a bowl of food out for a skinny feral cat. We don't moan because we see someone in need: we do what we can to help. Being positive comes from within, and positive actions don't need a "list". When we complain it's because younger generations don't feel the need to do any of the above. Remember this: Boomers invented cell phones, computers, wifi, gps, fiber optics, e-books, CT scans and MRI machines, modern passenger jets, Amazon, Windows, Apple, Harry Potter, McDonald's, the Beatles, and the SuperBowl. If you have positive thoughts about any of those, thank a Boomer.
@@gsdalpha1358 Actually several of your claims about Boomers inventing things were really invented by other Generations; but in general your points are valid.
Mobile/cell phone - Silent Generation (pre-Boomer)
Computers - Silent Generation
Wifi - The Greatest Generation (pre Silent Generation)
GPS - Silent Generation
Fiber Optics - The Greatest Generation
e-books - Boomer
CT Scanner - The Greatest Generation
MRI Machine - Silent Generation
Modern Passenger Jet - predates any named generation by a year (1882) but closest to the Lost generation.
Amazon - Boomer
Windows - Boomer
Harry Potter - Gen X (post Boomer)
McDonalds - The Greatest Generation
The Beatles - Silent Generation
Super Bowl - While several players were Boomers, the organisers and backers were from a mix of prior generations and the first event took place in 1967, a Gen X date, so no particular generation can claim that one.

Why do l need an alexa speaking for me turned off and in drawer soon to be bin not one of my son's better gifts
I agree about the tide pods. Since when has thinking become too much work? People that have to be told to not eat tide pods, or put plastic bags on their heads, or use electric appliances in the bathtub are a danger to themselves and others. People, use your brains. Take responsibility for your own safety. Don't rely on warning labels to keep you safe. They're only there to keep companies out of legal trouble when YOU decide to do something stupid.
Stop with all the surveys! I am so sick with every company asking me to rate them on a survey...NOT NECESSARY!
These are all so true, it's a sad state of affairs. Kids can't even write cursive anymore. You should see the job applications I have received!
UGH!! Sooooo true!! My now 29 year old has good penmanship, as it was required in 3rd-5th grades. My 21 year old can barely sign his name, he had to practice with me to sign his license application! I didn’t know he only had a few lessons in cursive in 3rd grade, then it was dumped, it was just something I never thought to question. I should have taught him myself…😩
I wish they were still teaching cursive, but why would anyone be hand writing a job application?
U know Y that is? Be-cos A..👁️...cannot reed cur-sive. I rite this way bcos of that ..😊
@@rebeccaa2433 Some (rare) places still do have pre-printed job application forms you fill out by hand. At least I think they still do; I know I saw one no more than five years ago in a restaurant. I'd have a hard time trying to fill anything out in cursive anymore; I learned early that I could write faster using printed block capitals so that's how I took notes and did school assignments. I'd have to slow down drastically to write in readable cursive.
Some schools which use
ABEKA CURRICULA
It
teaches cursive in 1st grade
They'll have the printed word, then the cursive word next to it.
They said, with cursive, you don't life pencil off the page
So, it could be easier
Printing, you lift it off each letter
In a way I'm glad I don't understand the world today. I grew up with freedom to play unsupervised, access to firearms, violent shows/video games and parents who taught me the most important lessons of my life - accountability, kindness, empathy, and respect for the world around me. Doing what we wanted was common because neighbors/families trusted our upbringing and judgement because of our values were learned early. I remember my best friend and me picking up a couple 22's and shooting at targets or going out to play in the woods all day and coming home for supper. There was never a thought of harming anyone or anything. there was never any thought or worry of something happening because dad taught us responsibility, safety, and respect. I think at 13 we had more wisdom and sense than half the content creators today. I also never needed anything to record any of those experiences. Those lessons and memories are burned in my brain forever. Thank you to all my friends and family who taught this boy to be a man while never getting to old and losing sight of the wonder and magic of the world around me.
My memory never worked right(side effect of my disorder) so anywhere I go somewhere important, I bring back soverneirs to prove to my mind, three months later, that yes we went there and yes it was real. Taking pics has always been a normal way to save memories but people used to have seperate cameras for that, not just one device. I wonder what they'll do if something goes wrong with their phone and they dont have backup devices to hand?
BS
Right, I know. I was born in 1961 and times were great back then. I miss the music and tv and people where a lot friendlier, I think. I'd go back in a heartbeat if I could.
The irony of watching this on UA-cam 😂
as a boomer, I approve this video
Gen X (barely 1966) I approve too! 👍🏻
Thank you for spelling paid correctly. I see “payed” on a daily basis now and it hurts my head.
Same! My head hurts frequently due to poor spelling and grammar. Why don’t people know how to use apostrophes correctly? It isn’t that difficult, well it isn’t if you paid attention in class at school.
And passed/past. And your/you're. I call auto-wrong what it is!
Not to mention "loose" when they mean "lose".
And one that cracks me up every time I see it (Which is sadly way too often!) Balling/bawling. "She started balling her eyes out." LOL! Really!
Bawling is crying!
Balling is ... something else that is probably extremely painful to do to your eyes! LOL!
@@MelanieCravens "Balling eyes out?". Melanie, there's gotta be a double-entendre in there somewhere!
I had a big long rant about how annoying and intrusive technology has gotten, but I erased it. I just want to interact with real people, physical machines, books, and not have to use the internet/apps for everything regardless of whether or not it needs it. That includes computer stuff. I shouldn't have to sign into my cloud account just to do office stuff, edit videos, manage my photos, play solitaire, etc.
I used to be able to repair things myself but don't dare do that now for fear of being thrown in jail for stepping on some company's intellectual rights. It used to be when I bought something I actually owned it and could replace a battery if need be without voiding a warranty. Just think, they call this progress? I'm not so sure about that. Stores can't stay open if their machines go down because no one can do simple addition and subtraction. How are the younger generations going to study historical facts when they can't even read cursive writings and heaven forbid the grid goes down because no-one will know how to boil water without a computer to tell them how. There are many wonderful things that technology makes easier for people but don't forget the basics because technology is only as good as the power grid that runs it.
If it's electrical and needs fixing, I'll fix it (if it's reparable), I don't give shite about some companies 'feelings' on the matter.
This filming in public is only an American thing, here in Germany if someone films you in public and publishes it without your consent they can be sued. (As it should be)
Not just the US. Here in the UK filming or photographing in a public space is fully legal.
This is not completely true. In Germany, you have the so-called "Panoramafreiheit" ("freedom of panorama"), which states that it's OK to photograph or film in public, as long - and THIS is the important part - people who appear in those photos/films *are not singled out* or even *the main focus of the photo/film* (the important term here is "Beiwerk", I think this is called "Accessory" called in English. It means that the person is an unimportant part of the photo/film. If somebody moves their camera to follow you - even if you are just a very small part of the film as such, they already need your permission to do so).
So if you are walking down a road and somebody is taking a photo of that road, they are totally legal to do so - as long as you aren't the main focus/content of the picture, or singled out in any way. If you are the focus or a big part of the photo/film, then your "Recht am eigenen Bild" ("Right to one's own image") comes into play, and they need your permission to use the photo.
It's actually a quite complex legal issue, not something "black and white". And additionally, the law differs between photos/films for personal use only and for commercial/public use as well (the rules for commercial/public use are much more in favour of your right to your own image).
So you’re saying I should wait for the crowds to disperse before I take a photo in Yosemite?
@@IgorRockt Okay, with the road thing, what happens while filming a car comes speeding by and crashes into the something, your attention is going to be drawn that and you might end up filming it, is that illegal? Also what about weather, I.E., a tornado comes by and tear things up, maybe including a person's house, and you catch it, is that illegal?
@@hobbyhopper3143 Nope if it is in a public space you can take whatever pictures you want and film as much as you want totally legal. (in America anyways…)
Back in 2008, I remember my daughter's fiance always on his phone when he came to my house. I absolutely did not like this rude kid. Their marriage only lasted a year.
They forgot one: "don't put crap music on UA-cam videos"
And, if posting a video of something in your area, *put the location of where and the date of when it happened* in the title or description. Not everyone in the world knows where your podunk town is.
In cold climates, touch screens don’t work with gloves or mitts. Gloves and mitts do work with decent sized buttons and knobs. For the love of God stop it with the screens.
Touch screens also won't work if your hands are too cold. I've had to start bringing handwarmers like hunters use because my fingers are practically icicles in my section and all I have is a touch screen computer.
100% agree with not letting your kids rule the roost. Went out for lunch recently and overheard a mum asking her six year old where they were going for lunch. He happened to choose the same place we were going, so we got to see the whole performance. She got him to choose his own lunch and then where they sat. A world of difference to when we were kids. IF we were lucky enough to be taken out for lunch, we sat where we were told and ate what we were bought. AND we would never, ever dare to stand on the chairs!
At least he was getting fed. I'm babysitting a 5 year old whose mom isn't bringing food in and telling him too bad you can go hungry when I inform her he didn't want her soup.
Hold on, car keys are now apps on phones??? I have never seen this! What is this referring to? That is absolutely mind boggling....
Yes, that's your remote now, like it or not. I guess if you break or lose your phone, you're just SOL because now you can't even get into your car or, if it's unlocked, you can't use it.
Personally I am far from being a boomer. I am in my mid-40s now. I have a job in IT. And even though I love technology and the things it can do, I prefer much of my stuff to remain „dumb“ as opposed to being online all the time. Because I see things go wrong all the time despite the lofty promises of manufacturers. And I have a hatred for touch displays, especially in cars and on cameras. Give me proper buttons and dials, dammit! Stop forcing me to go menu diving and tapping around on a piece of glass while I am driving on the road!
And when I go grocery shopping, I have to to the whole rigmarole each time at the checkout:
No, I don’t have your customer club card, no I am not interested in signing up for it, and I also do not have your bloody app. Yes, I have seen the offers, and no, I am STILL NOT INTERESTED…! I just want to pay for my bread and my cheese etc and be on my way, thank you very much - is that too much to ask?
I'm in IT too and hate having to learn a new app then log onto it in order to get simple things done on my off hours like QR code menus in expensive restaurants. It's like I'm still at work!
3:50 ~ Woo ~ wait ~ slow down a moment there. Let's be less concerned about the Bluetooth in your digital thermometer ~ Let's talk about the idea you need a small tube of glass with a few drops of mercury in it as a thermometer.
Look~ I'm a 61 year old Linux nerd, a technology geek, who started programming in 1982, but you don't need to microprocessor to make an egg timer. You don't need a microprocessor to make a thermometer. You don't need a microprocessor to know what 7 x 8 equals. You don't need a microprocessor to wake up in the morning. You don't need a microprocessor to switch on or off a light, or open a garage door. I am as happy and enthusiastic about computers and IT as the next person, possibly more-so, but ... Come on!

In 1948, George Orwell wrote 1984, which was a dystopian fantasy about what the world would look like in 40 years or so, if things continued the way he feared they might. He told us about a thing called a 'view screen' ~ which was a combination of television, and propaganda, and surveillance tool. He told us they would be installed by the government (Big Brother) in every house or flat, that they would run 24 / 7, and that you couldn't remove them. He didn't tell us that we'd pay for them ourselves, line up at 3am on a cold night to be the first to get a new model, that a smaller model would fit in our pockets, and that we'd go off the deep end if the battery went flat.
I wonder what George would make of Donald?

Fire is good thing, to cook your steak. Fire is not a good thing to destroy your house. Fire is in itself, not a good thing or a bad thing. It is a thing with enormous potential, for good or bad. It can change a lot of things, very dramatically, very quickly, which means it's powerful. One could say the same about electricity, or industrialisation, or compulsory gov controlled education. One could say the same thing about computers and IT. One could say the same thing, generally, about human beings, or civilisation.
As a 60+ year old technology nerd myself who started programming in 1978, your comment leaves nothing more to say. Time for the next video. 👍
One reason why stores only have a couple of stands open is because they want you to see the lines, get frustrated (consciously or subconsciously) and keep shopping.
It’s all part of the marketing strategy to get you to buy more (on impulse)
Then with me they’ve failed. I ditch the cart and walk out 😅
I miss real books and bookstores. And the sagger pants thing, it is a declaration of war on decency.
I read - a lot! I've nothing against real books, but I ran out of bookshelf space at home decades ago. The big advantage of e-readers is that regardless of many books I buy I can store my entire library without problems.
Amen. Again and again.
Look at the problems with electric cars. First they need to use manual door locks and windows. When the battery is dead, you need to be able to get out .
Unlock the door and open it. Roll down the window. All without using electricity. And for safety.
Remember before every car had ac, we had those marvelous floor vents and side vents. The side vents directed the air past the inside windshield and an open floor vent cooled the feet first and the whole cabin. And they closed well for cold cold winter days and nights.
Here are a couple ideas for starters for reducing the amount of electricity that the machine uses.
I agree with everything in here.
Same!! I chuckled at the Tide Pods, kids these days seriously who would even THINK to eat laundry detergent, gross….and one with a functioning brain would think it would get you severely sick.

Usually the music is distracting at best and annoying at worst. I just turn off videos that make me struggle to hear the narrator or that irritates me with completely unnecessary or noisy music.
the corporate and government idea that everyone has high speed internet and all the bells and whistles to use it IS WRONG
Yes. And it's not just corporations and government. People are amazed that I'm not constantly glued to my phone. I'll never understand why people want to watch stuff on a tiny screen. Half the time when I leave the house, I forget to even take my phone.

So much of this is me talking. So many things have gotten out of control. When I get into a car to drive it I don't want it to sound and look like I've just walked into a pinball arcade. I want to drive it too. I don't need the car to refuse to start because I haven't put my seatbelt on, nor require me to put foot on brake (automatic transmissions) before moving the selector.
Don't get me started on those "smart" engines that cut out at the very instant you need to accelerate quickly through an intersection. I wonder how many collisions have occurred because of that?
I meet regularly with my old school teachers, they were authority figures for me and my generation.

I’m Gen X, but agree that not everything should link up to the internet or wifi! What if your wifi goes down? You need some things that don’t depend on it. Also, cars that can be started with your phone - what if your phone gets lost, stolen or broken?! People need to think these things through properly and realise that there’s a downside to technology, even though it is also very handy in other respects.
Boomer here! I write CHECKS or pay CASH for almost everything. My little flip phone stays in my purse with my credit card. People hate me at the grocery store.

I don’t want a ‘how did we do today’ survey to answer when I have only just received my purchase, not even unpacked it, much less tried it on, worn it, washed it. How can you review an item you know nothing about except you thought it might be right for you.
That c__p started as early as the J D Power surveys on you new car, received 3 days after purchasing the vehicle.

Speaking for an older generation, is "absolutely clutch" (7:21) good or bad? Does nobody write in plain English any more?
Clutch is good. It means very effective or something done well in an important situation.
It's just slang which every generation has/had their own slang.
Texting: the death of good writing.
@@spikespa5208 Yes. I had to look up "stanning" the other day. What's wrong with plain English? People, stop making up stupid words.
Driving interstate yesterday, stopped for a drink and something to eat, I watched the people in the slightly up-market dinner. I was the ONLY person not on my phone! I’m including the two women travelling with me. Of the 9 in the dinner, one was speaking on her phone, the rest were “scrolling”. One of the women with me received a text while scrolling.
I’m 66 and I’m amazed when I see young couples in a restaurant, presumably on a date, looking not at each other but at their mobiles.

She didnt even have it in her hand, just her wallet so it was probably in her pocket.

You people don't get out much. I see people yapping to each other all over the place.
@@plicketyplunk Well to conserve money, I only travel when I need to. My town is too far away to walk and public transport STILL costs money even with an oyster card and no I dont have a car, could never afford it and besides, gas prices are a rip off everywhere. Also my community is kinda isolated in itself. Someone described it once as every house is its own solar system, so unless you live here, are delivering something or know someone who lives there, no one speaks to anyone. I still get strange looks from some of my newer neighbours when I wave and say hi. I know those looks, I've had them since I was a kid, they basically mean: Who's this lunatic? Why are they waving at me?
I often go out for the day and leave my phone at home.

Learn how to differentiate between plural, and possessive.
Tell UA-cam first. If you type a comment containing a plural or the possessive "its" the algorithm will insert an apostrophe. It has other illiterate "corrections" it makes as well. So it may not be the poster's fault. Just another case of automated idiocy.
For clarity: the possessive of "it" is "its", just as the possessive of "he" is "his". The contraction of "it is" is "it's".
@@lobstermash I have never had that happen to me when posting a comment on YT. But I agree with OP; misplaced apostrophes are a huge pet peeve of mine as well.

Self check-outs: If you want me to be your cashier, pay me. Also, there goes another low-wage job available to people who need entry level positions to put food on their table. Damn it, corporations, how much profit is enough?
CVS, we're looking at you.
Nah, the decline started long before social media, it's just social media seems to have accelerated it. Bill Engval has a great stand up bit called "Here's Your Sign" about how dumb people have gotten, and they should have to walk around with signs saying they're dumb. He did it back in the 90's before even MySpace existed. My favorite one was "On the back of shampoo bottles there are instructions, and they say lather, rinse, repeat. Well, they forgot to put turn the water off and get out, so you know somewhere there's some idiot still in the shower."
Pushing back starts with the small things. Small but extremely annoying/ effective to those on the other side. Start by never using self check out. Never. Take a look at the person behind the self checkout. Now you're getting it.
Unsubscribe to EVERYTHING unless you truly need it. Never use QR codes.
I agree 100% with you on self checkout. I refuse to use self checkout. If there is no one at the register when I'm ready to pay, I will wait for a cashier. If one day they say sorry no cashier's available right now, I will just leave my cart behind and go to another store.
Quite.
I wish other people understood that if we all stop using self checkout they will have to remove the terrible machines and employ more cashiers.
Everyone is always in a rush now that they don't want to wait 1 minute in the cashier lane.
I like self checkout because I don't want make small talk, I just want to pay for my stuff & GTFO of the store
The younger generations are all in a rush ( for what I cannot think ) and they have been brought up when self checkouts are a novelty/ standard. We oldies must hold firm and educate them, as we do in most things once they catch on.
Playing background music on youtube videos irks me.
Yes, and it is always louder than the youtube's blah blah blah, sort of like commercials.
10:00 - Whilst I agree that children and teens now spend too much time indoors, I disagree that the main cause of this is social media and video games - I believe the main cause is parents' paranoia about safety and so-called "stranger danger". There is actually more danger to children from family members than there ever is from strangers.
you hit the nail on the head
No truer words spoken Thank you.
I get anybody could be a bad guy/woman. However, kids getting kidnapped is a real thing. Parents have an obligation to teach their children about safety. Also, I’m not sure those statistics could hold up in the near future. The US ranks third in the world with sex-trafficking and is the world’s largest consumer of porn. It won’t be long before the numbers are higher with all of our open borders.
Edit: The US is the largest consumer of child (you know).
I disagree. However, Gen X (I just missed the Boomer designation) grew up in a time when child abduction became far more well known because of television coverage of cases like Adam Walsh. Many of these people started having kids and took the idea to an extreme. Kids are now rude @ssh0les. They have zero respect. Not mine.
I'm Gen x and I'm not a fan of boomers or Gen z but I agree with the content of this video. We have to much useless nonsense today.

6:42 This! So much of this! Everyday I see people who either can't be bothered to, or just plain can't, write their own damn language correctly. How much time do you save by writing gibberish, or not checking for typos. before you hit "send"? And what do you do with that time? Write more gibberish!
7:17. And what the h*ll is "absolutely clutch" supposed to mean? Is that good or bad?
Yeah thought minutes after stating no more abbreviations and such...then this one word of slang "clutch" ?? define this term please...
From the context I took it to mean “vital” or “essential” but a quick check on urban dictionary said several different definitions, the most applicable one for this particular statement in this video would be “perfect, exactly what is needed”.
And then what really gets depressing is look at all the money we're spending on school taxes and we're not getting the education for our kids like they're supposed to all the money is going for sports and how many people make a living
Apps everywhere, and everything online is a cost saving for the *business* and lets them gather marketing info. No thanks
Don't understand the selfie generation at all. I've never thought to myself, "you know what the world needs? More pictures & videos of MEEEEEE!"

UA-camrs, If your intro is more than 5 seconds, I'm fast forwarding, damn right I'm using an ad blocker, & if you talk too slow I'm turning the video speed up.

The first one is sort of true. A lot of people only see the “good” parts of other peoples lives on social media, and people obviously won’t always post the bad. It can definitely lead to jealousy most times, but it can also lead to eating disorders and other issues (which is society’s fault as a whole; beauty standards and whatnot).
But are we not gonna talk about the countless people who grew up WITHOUT tech or social media in their childhood and still developed mental illnesses?
I grew up without a phone or a tablet being shoved in my face, and I always played outside so much to the point I was always stepping on something that would cut my feet nearly everyday.
Still ended up developing mental illnesses from my parents always fighting and neglecting me over my other siblings, and some of the illnesses I even inherited since they always ran so bad in my family.
Obviously not a lot of older generations perceive it this way, since their generations were forced to discriminate against those who were mentally ill, and were even told to hide those things just to appear normal.
While social media may have caused a lot of people to develop certain things, it’s definitely not what created these illnesses that have been around for centuries.
There are minds, strong minds and then there are potent minds. My mother wanted a daughter, so she tried to turn me into her "little girl", even though I was not born with a "hole in one", but rather with "a string attached". Try as she might, it didn't work: I knew I was a boy and nothing could change that. I started learning to read at age three and had read many authors, from H.G. Wells, through Alexandre Dumas, Jules Verne, and many others by the time I started school at age six. I HATED school because it was not teaching me anything useful. This was in the middle of last century, before kids had any "rights", so I was thrashed both at home and at school because I refused to do homework. I eventually dropped out after scraping through Std. 8 (Grade 10), left home and became a hobo at age 16, travelling around the country and working here and there, at different jobs, to pay for my needs. I was a pretty boy, resulting in me being raped on three occasions. They were, quite literally, no more than a temporary pain in the butt to me: I moved on, completely unaffected in any way.
Yes, I had a tough-ish upbringing, but nothing could dampen my spirit. I never let the bad bits get me down, but always looked forward to each new adventure, even during those times when I had to run all night to keep from freezing and when I went without food for up to two weeks on end.
@@SenhorTudo Good for you!
We never knew the local priest had a _fondness_ for the altar boys. We didn’t know our rights at work. Options were what rich people had not regular people. We didn’t know the magnitude of perverts and rapists we idolized. Women raped and murdered when their cars broke down. People found dead in their homes after months and even years, because no-one noticed. People look at the past with rose tinted glasses. When I was a teen we didn’t even have defibrillators in every ambulance, now they’re standard at work and the local shops.
We have lived in a negative society for longer than social media has been here. People seem to only notice when something goes bad. It is amazing to see the surprise on peoples face when you compliment them on a job well done (makes my day bringing a smile to someones face).
Sometimes I just tell a passerby that I like their hat or hairdo.
Yes, this true. Kids backtalk their parents and the parents don’t want to be the bad guy so they let the kids get away with it. So the kids think that they can talk to anyone like that. Yep, that’s what this world is coming to, no accountability. And if you correct someone’s else kid even though it’s wrong, the parents will turn on you, sue you and all kinds of stupid stuff just because they’re lousy parents.
If I had spoken back to my Dad, the way these kids do, I'd have got a hiding to nowhere and been locked in my room til *I could behave like a normal person*. This often left me thinking Im gonna be up here a long time then. The trick is learn the difference between disciple and abuse. Some people took it too far and they had to remove ALL discipline as a result and that was also a mistake.
I had already learned this before it came to a "hiding." Do you want something to cry about? I'll give you a reason!@starscreamthecruel8026

"I can't do ................. because of my anxiety." Feeling anxious is normal: maybe you have to give your first speech at a conference; perhaps you're hosting a big party in someone's honour and wonder how it will come off; or you're traveling alone to a foreign country for the first time. There are hundreds of things that would make the average person anxious. But it seems every third person on the interweb has crippling, baseless, widespread "anxiety" dominating their lives. To me, much of it seems like self-indulgent hope that someone else will do whatever chore you're avoiding.
