For years he uses an old ass 50 inch TV with a antenna box. He watches local channels only.
So I buy him a 65" Vizio smart tv. I show him all the free shit that's on it. I spent every morning and even stopped by in the evening teaching him how to operate everything. He's called me multiple times because he can't figure it out. I patiently show him again how to use it. Next day, same thing. He's totally lost.
I go down this morning and he says "I'm throwing this GD tv out the door and I want my old tv back". He was annoyed AF. So I hooked all his old stuff back up. He told me to just give the tv to somebody who needs it. I just paid almost $400 for it. I don't need it. I have nice tv's and a projector. I'm thinking about setting it in the road and hitting it at 70mph in my side-by-side and filming it. kek I don't know yet. I haven't really decided. I'm sure one of my kids might want it but I'm a wild card.

No one needs to look for a reason to bash Millennials for being the 2nd most technologically incompetent generation alive, only surpassed by GenZ.
Their generation can't operate "tech" unless it's instant plug and play, or if a task takes more than 3 clicks to perform.
Their peak ability in troubleshooting and repair is - Turn it off and on again. Anything more complicated than that is too advanced for them.
And to go back to the beginning - The few and far between examples of people complaining about Boomers "struggling" with tech is almost always a result of them attempting to overcomplicate things and being too smart for their own good.
Also, if you ever try to win an argument - Telling people about your poor genetics won't help.
And don't give me any of this 44 year old Millennial bullshit. No one born before the 90s would ever call themselves a Millennial.
Millennials are a distinct.... culture in time.... age bracket... generational culture bracket... (I don't know how to word that, but you know what I mean).
