There’s a running joke among some of my friends that I’m sometimes a ‘boomer’ in all but age. I still think that I can earn my very own white picket fence if I just work hard enough. I think that quite a few of the movies and TV shows that are released in this day and age fall incredibly short of the mark. And I have a very old-fashioned approach to technology: I’m writing this while listening to music on my iPod while lamenting the disappearance of headphone jacks on phones. The best part? I’m not alone!

There are quite a few ‘baby boomers in disguise’ out there, and odds are that you and pretty much everyone you know has at least one ‘boomer opinion’ about life, work, and technology in the 2020s.

Internet users shared their boomer opinions in a very entertaining and enlightening r/AskReddit thread that proves progress isn’t linear—just because something’s new doesn’t automatically make it better! If we're really honest, replacing buttons with touchscreens everywhere might not have been the brightest idea in some cases. And who needs smart fridges anyway?! Upvote the opinions you agree with as you're scrolling down, dear Pandas.

Bored Panda wanted to learn about the things that technology and app creators should prioritize, so we reached out to Matt Johnson, Ph.D., for a few insights. He explained to us that products are only valuable when they're valuable to the consumer, and shared his thoughts on how we might be seeing an 'analog renaissance.' Plus, he explained why, in some cases, a simple pencil and paper might trump smartphones and computers.

You'll find our full interview with the expert below. Johnson is a professor of consumer psychology at Hult International Business School and Harvard University, the host of the Neuroscience of Branding blog, and the author of Branding that Means Business.

Meanwhile, we also got in touch with the author of the r/AskReddit thread. Read on for our interview with them as well.

50 People From Various Generations Don't Hold Back Confessing Their Most 'Boomer' Takes Let me buy something and own it. I don’t want to pay a monthly fee to use something

AtomicBlastCandy , Anna Shvets Report

"One of the most important elements to keep in mind in product development is the ultimate user experience. This sounds obvious, but many times, creative teams and developers become overly enamored in their own ideas about the product that they lose sight of how it’ll ultimately be used by the end user," Professor Johnson, the founder of the Neuroscience of Branding blog, explained to Bored Panda.

"Products are valuable when, and only when, they’re valuable to the consumer. This ultimately comes down to empathic design, as well as the practice of co-creation with consumers. Instead of simply guessing what will be appealing to consumers, many brands have begun to invite them into the creative process itself," he noted that there's far more interaction between creators and consumers than before.

"Crucial to this process is the intuitive nature of the user experience. Products—especially technological products—should be instantly intuitive. This again comes back to empathic design and co-creation. And in addition, a third component is especially important: making the consumer feel smart. The ‘smartness’ of the product experience isn’t merely the technology, but how it makes the user feel. Here, there’s an analogy to good, empathetic writing: good writing makes the writer feel smart; great writing makes the reader feel smart. The same can be said for technology products."

Meanwhile, we were very interested to get the professor's opinion on the advantages and disadvantages of 'smart' devices, compared to 'dumb' (aka analog) ones.

"There’s a lot of speculation that there may be something of an analog renaissance. There’s clear recognition that technology has its benefits in a number of areas of life. However, in others, it may have overstepped its bounds, and that analog (or dumb tech) products may actually be beneficial," Johnson pointed out to us.

50 People From Various Generations Don't Hold Back Confessing Their Most 'Boomer' Takes Paper books are better than E-books. There is just something about reading on paper- it feels more real.

NonOfYaBeezWax , Pixabay Report

"Take communication, for example. Zoom has been a huge tool in the pandemic, and is great for communication types requiring a visual referent, such as a presentation. However, there’s a lot of evidence to suggest that a simple phone call is better for building empathy and trust," he explained. "And while digital forms of typing, either on mobile or on the computer, come with their own conveniences, 'dumb' writing products—like simple pencil and pad—have been identified to hold several benefits such as enhanced creativity and better memory retention." Anecdotally, we can definitely confirm this. It's why yours truly still takes a lot of notes by hand; it might be slower, but it works so much better than doing everything digitally.

Professor Johnson, the author of Branding that Means Business, pointed out that smart devices will "likely proliferate in certain areas, but may dissipate in others."

"Predicting exactly which kinds of devices will proliferate is difficult and speculative. Generally speaking, technology over the past 15-20 years has been incredible at enabling consumers to do things better, easier, and faster than ever before," he said. "Technology is great for doing things. But it isn’t great at providing enjoyable experiences, or enhancing existing ones. It’s in this domain of where a return to ‘dumb’ technology may be most pronounced."

As a mentally ill person, I say: Your mental illness is not your fault, but it is your responsibility to manage. Your mental illnesses can cause you to make mistakes and treat others poorly, and you certainly deserve some grace and understanding when you f**k up (as all humans do). But that doesn’t let you off the hook for the behavior, and it doesn’t make the recipient of the bad behavior the bad guy for setting boundaries or calling you on your behavior.

"I believe that all of us have opinions that go against the grain and that some of these opinions aren't necessarily wrong," they told us a bit about what inspired them to start up the thread in the first place.

According to the redditor, a boomer "doesn't necessarily mean age."

"I know some young conservatives that I would view as boomers. To me the 'ok boomer' crowd is out of touch and refuses to try to understand that things are different now," they told Bored Panda.

In their opinion, social media is "easily" the most recent technology that has made life harder rather than easier. "We're addicted to it and it's making us mentally ill," they said.

Baby boomers, aka boomers, are people born from 1946 to 1964, and tend to be seen as having ‘old-fashioned’ beliefs about work and life. Being called a boomer in a non-academic context is a synonym for someone who’s behind the times. It’s typically used as a gentle insult (e.g. using the dismissive phrase, ‘ok, boomer!’). Quite paradoxical, considering that boomers themselves tend to see themselves as ‘the greatest generation.’

ADVERTISEMENT

No generation is perfect: each one has its specific pros and cons, as well as very distinct perception of what the world ‘should’ be like.

Similarly, boomers tend to look down on zoomers (born from the early 2010s onwards), but often call them millennials (born 1981-1996) by mistake. Speaking generally, boomers tend to believe that the younger generations are slacking off and should be working harder.

However, boomers often get criticized for not taking the economic situation into account. They grew up in a time of affluence and prosperity when it was relatively easy to save up enough money to own your own home.

Children should be outside playing more.

stolenourhearts Report

Having your own home is still seen as a sign of success by the majority of young people. However, the problem is affordability. It’s not enough to work hard. Financial stability and home ownership aren’t as guaranteed as they used to be half a century ago. This, of course, leads to a certain amount of cynicism among the millennials and the Gen-Z cohort, as well as tension between them and the older generations who (from their perspective) may have had it easier.

As we grow older, our tastes change and develop. At the same time, we also cling to certain technologies and attitudes that used to get us good results. Why switch to a high-tech TV, computer, or phone when the one you have works perfectly fine? It’s eco-friendly and financially savvy to avoid upgrading to something new just for the heck of it… so long as you’re doing it for the right reasons.

Unfortunately, the reality is that some people are resistant to trying new tech. They might be scared to break something. Or they might be unwilling to learn something new—perhaps due to their pride or out of fear that it’ll take them far too long. It’s a question of attitude, as well as adaptability. Do you embrace the new so that you can keep up with a rapidly-changing world or do you cling to the past, daydreaming of the ‘good old days’?

Nostalgia is a powerful thing. But if we spend all of our time reminiscing about the past while ignoring the present, something needs to change. One way to do this is to focus on all of the things that you’re grateful to have in this ever-changing world.

At the same time, it’s essential to stay objective. Just because there’s a new gadget coming out or a fresh trend is sweeping the globe doesn’t mean that you should jump on board simply because ‘everyone else is doing it.’ Ignore the FOMO. Think about what you want.

It’s perfectly fine to want better, more user-friendly technology. For instance, you might feel that a website, app, or streaming service needs a more intuitive UI. Or you might get irritated by all the updates that certain apps require just to function. Not to mention the metric ton of passwords that you need to keep track of because, hey, pretty much everything requires you to log in these days. Sometimes, simpler really is better.

Personally? I’d love to meet the person who decided that phones no longer need headphone jacks. I’ve got a bunch of questions for them…

I know there are many people that will say negative things about this but it is possible to be overweight AND healthy. I have Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue but I do not have any other comorbidities. Medically speaking, I am clinically obese but I do not have any heart conditions, I have no cholesterol problems, I have no high blood pressure and I'm not diabetic or even close to becoming one. I unfortunately have very poor mobility due to my chronic illnesses so I am carrying a lot more weight than I would like; my meds and not being able to exercise don't help with my weight. Judging me by the contents of my shopping trolley is extremely unhelpful because you have no idea who I'm actually shopping for. Even if I have minimal calories a day, I still can't burn them with the activities I'm doing. Say anything about anybody's appearance when you know absolutely nothing about the why and the how, is wrong and you need to keep your opinion to yourself.

Obesity IS a medical condition. Human beings’ bodies are not designed to be obese. The state of being obese is inherently and automatically unhealthy, as even if you have perfect bloodwork and don’t have diabetes, obesity damages your joints, bones, tendons etc as they are supporting an unnatural weight. I am not criticizing your current state as I know the difficulties of obesity compounded with conditions - all of my close family members are all obese and I have been a caregiver to several over the last two decades - but I do want to point out that factually speaking, you cannot be “obese and healthy”, as obesity is inherently unhealthy.

BUT, don’t tell me big is beautiful, don’t show me a bunch of models looking good in size 24 pants because THAT effs with my brain and makes me think I DON’T need to lose weight when I actually do.

Your weight is determined by a lot of factors, among which are your genetics, gender, age, your bio-digestive composition, and endocrineal balance. Then there's disease and mobility too. But chief factor is the diet. The American diet has excessively high calories, carbs, fats, and portion sizes versus excessively low fiber, nutrition, and nutritional balance. Fruits, veggies, and whole grains are rarely consumed, and fresh produce is crazy expensive, whereas candy and junk food are cheap. Rather than blame the victims of an abusive system, focus on changing the systems that create the problems.

My Plantar Fasciitis makes it feel like I'm walking on hot coals and nails, the cancer in my uterus deprives me of energy and no matter what diet I go on, my metabolism is shot to Hell and my body refuses to lose weight. I've been overweight for 4 years and suicide is all that I think about most of the time.

What is overweight is in the eye of the beholder. When I was 120 lbs and a dress size 4, I still had men who would tell me I'd would be perfect if I could lose some weight. I wish I could fit into my size 4 skirts now.

I'm pretty sure noone wants their weight to be celebrated or stigmatised. Just accepted. You never know what issues people are dealing with and many things can cause weight issues. Being judgemental and nasty about any aspect of someone's looks is just nasty and will do nothing to change anything except to make that person's life more difficult.

Nobody is celebrating it. Some people just think you are still allowed to feel ok despite being fat, If they want to, and that is totally fine. Whenever I see a post like this i mentally translate it to: "overweight people should be insulted and made to feel bad all the time"

I believe it should be emphasized that being "fat" (not simply overweight in accordance with an arbitrary and proven-inaccurate BMI chart) is unhealthy, reduces lifespan, can affect self-esteem and cause adverse effects on society if too many people experience it (tragedy of the commons). Everyone should decide for themselves if there is some social utility for stigmatizing being fat and not be afraid to hold that belief, but being excessively overweight is a relatively recent problem for humans as we've replaced many of the issues that used to plague us with new ones as a byproduct of our biology and conditioning.

Neither should being skinny. I have a personal preference for myself but that doesn't mean I'm right for everyone else. Everyone knows being too big is bad for your long term health, but it's not the only indication of health issues. According to my bmi I'm "overweight" but I'm a uk size 10 which is far from fat. Doesn't stop me feeling like s**t though.

I feel everyone makes good points. It's not good to stigmatize or celebrate fat. It's simply a medical condition, one that could be brought on by poor health but also from other harder-to-avoid circumstances. Someone may still be "fat" but have lost a hundred pounds. The point is to love yourself and feel you are beautiful, because those things will be more helpful in getting towards your goals.

Being obese doesn't hurt anyone else, as long as you don't mind higher healrh insurance premiums. As for the rest of the world that DOES have a health care system, you have a responsibility to minimize your drain on that system. I would be upset to learn that my access to health care was affected by someone else who developed diabetes or emphysema or cirrhosis because of their own lifestyle choices.

I think mental health is very attached to physical health. If people aren't getting the support they need emotionally or mentally, then they're going to go overboard over/under eating or over/under exercising. I think people can help being overweight, but they don't feel like they have the mental capacity to try and do anything about it.

The image of what healthy is has somehow changed. Being over weight is gambling with your life and mental well being. Everyone pays for a unhealthy life style, through public burden on the health system, to long term impacts on other social costs. Education for an overall balance in life. Just a little exercise daily and being active. Too often we take things to the extreme.

Like I can have my TV on the lowest volume playing something I don't care about and I can sit there a read a book perfectly fine. I know that this isn't normal, it's a me problem, but I haven't figured out a good way to deal with it yet. I think it's because in my mind, quiet = bad/ I'm in trouble/ something bad is going to happen. Edit: I wanted to say thanks for all the amazing advice!

The service industry is garbage now. My first few jobs were working in fast food: I got paid s**t and the hours sucked. I still greeted customers when they walked in the shop, spoke politely over the phone and waited until my smoke breaks to blow a f*****g gasket about something. Because of my experience in food service, I'm polite and friendly to a waiter/waitress or my delivery driver and usually try to tip well. But it seems like more often than not, everybody on the other side of the counter is surly and unhelpful. I'll be somewhere to pick up my food and the person on the other side of the counter can't even be bothered to look up from their phone to say 'welcome to arby's; how can I help you?'

I get it; your job sucks. You should be paid more. You have to deal with the rudest, most entitled people on a daily basis and twice as much on Sunday. It won't f*****g kill you to say hello.

Also, sometimes it goes through to a real office number but then rings for 45 seconds before saying “the party you are trying to reach is unavailable, goodbye” and then hangs up automatically, so you have to go through the menu all over again.

Movies used to be way better.

And I get that there were always lots of crappy and mediocre movies. And I get that there are still really good ones these days - 2019 was a particularly amazing year.

But they still used to be SO MUCH BETTER. Indie film festivals weren’t littered with endless “gritty slice of life drama with no plot and a shaky handheld camera”. Hollywood didn’t used to be “superhero’s and sequels and f**k everything else”.

And I dunno, it just feels like….some passion is gone. If you saw a low budget driving scene in the 70’s, you likely saw poor lighting and some muddled audio. But you also saw real people in real locations really trying. Now, a movie costing 200 f*****g million won’t bother filming a real driving scene with two actors in a real car on a real street. “Just green screen jt, no one will notice”.

But we do. We really do. And that lack of passion is killing the thing I love most.
