    Boomer opinions:

    • Stop being so loud.
    • Get off my lawn and please leave me alone.
    • I work in tech, but sometimes tech is added to things needlessly. I just want my washing machine to be a washing machine. I’m tired of being the product.
    • Silicon valley’s “disruptors” are usually full of shit. The vast majority of the time: it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
    • Don’t tell me what to do with my land if you’re not willing to pay my taxes (or if you don’t have good ecological reasons). I’ll paint my shudders whatever color I want to.
    • Bring back the damn knobs, buttons, and switches in my car. I don’t need more touchscreens.

    On the other hand…

    • I recognize that the way I feel and some of the opinions I have are based on a context I grew up with that may no longer exist - or at least it may not exist in the form it once did. I recognize how I see things may die with me and my peers, and that’s ok. It’s a sad truth, but truth, nonetheless.

      I just want my washing machine to be a washing machine.

      Amen. Most things that have become smart have done so for the sake of it and there are better alternatives like just making a list.

      I’m tired of being the product.

      Doesn’t everyone feel this way?

      Silicon valley’s “disruptors” are usually full of shit. The vast majority of the time: it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

      Some are good, but theres more that aren’t. Life doesn’t need disrupting half as much as people think it does.

      Bring back the damn knobs, buttons, and switches in my car. I don’t need more touchscreens.

      Whoever thought a touch screen in a car was a good idea should be locked up or put down. I can only believe it was someone who doesn’t drive that came up with that idea.
