Get the Boomer Tech mug.Injecting technology for technology's sake in a subpar manner into everything; often automating a simple humanistic element of life into cheap robotic annoyance. From that Ipad loaded with ads at your restaurant table, to the miserable robocustomer service representative. "Sorry, I didn't quite get that"
This phenomena arose as Boomers tried to stay relevant in their business careers. Operating under the universal assumption that more technology = good they jammed Boomertech into crevices of life where it's presence was never quite needed or wanted.

Boomer Tech (boomer technology) are technological inventions created in the 20th century or older (usually electronics but not necessarily). Boomers still use these in the 21st century even though there are other and usually better ways to do the same thing. One example of this is email and vinyl records.
Zoomer 1: My grandfather still uses email to communicate with us.
Zoomer 2: That's kinda cringe bro. That shit is Boomer Tech. My grandfather uses WhatsApp.

Get the Boomer Tech mug.A technological boomer is someone who rejects any type of proprietary software/device and has the purpose of “tracking” you. Their argument is that newer technology, especially software and Google/Apple (which are the main distributors) devices are made with the purpose of not only bloating your device with all sorts of useless features what you will not use, but also track every step you take. A technological boomer, in this case, would become an advocate for the use of non-proprietary/free and specially open source programs. They will always say that it is totally possible to use FOSS only and be able to ditch all the corporation crap. With this in mind, you will become more free, private and safer. These “evil corporations” will no longer be able to see the shady/explicit content on the websites you visit.
They also say that smartphones are evil (because they are controlled by these big corps.) and people should take a step back and return to the old days when we only had cellphones with no GPS/internet capability and stop with the use of social media because they make you addictive to them and actually get a proper life by raising up your arse and going outside and meet people in real life rather than giving all your data to a company that could use it against you if they wanted to.

Have you seen that Luke Smith guy on YouTube? Man, he is definitely a technological boomer! He is always saying we should stop using proprietary stuff and that these big tech companies are selling our data to advertisers.
