a problem with baby boomers to think that everything good in the world came from them. In reality, it did not.
Modern computers? Those were invented by cracking the codes of Nazi Germany in World
War... that's the Greatest/G.I. Generation.
The
Internet? That was created by two men,
one born in 1943 and the other in 1938, both well before the baby boom (1946-1965).
World Wide Web?
Okay, yes, two British baby boomers invented it originally, BUT...
The MODERN World Wide Web and
Internet, with the new end-to-end encryption, WhatsApp,
Google, YouTube, Skype, etc.? Those were ALL updated and modified by Generations X and Y (AKA millennials), NOT BOOMERS!
Basically, boomers are not responsible for creating the vast majority of modern technology and society. There was much created WELL BEFORE them that allowed to add their little contribution, and there was much modifying, updating, and innovating that made modern technology work like it is today WELL AFTER them.
Next, boomers will be taking credit for ending WWII (LOL!!!), creating
Facebook (ROTFL!!!), and inventing the lightbulb (LMFAOOOOOO!!).
When a Generation Xer or millennial comes up with a device to
help the world adapt to global warming and the dangerously changing climate without the
human population dying out, then boomers will take credit for that as well. Pathetic. Garbage in, garbage out.
Another example of
baby boomer revision disorder is how they think that they were the most revolutionary, badass generation growing up,
even though a quick talk with the Silent and Greatest Generation will tell you that these narcissists did absolutely nothing for civil rights or the environment and are
still trying to claim all the credit for them.
