Generations argue over who has endured the most tech changes, from flip phones to AI: ‘No wonder Baby Boomers get so cranky'
It's the ultimate digital bragging rights battle — which generation witnessed the most tech changes in their lifetime? A viral Threads post from @iblamekaixin lit the fuse on July 31, racking up over 353,000 views and nearly 30,000 likes: 'THERE'S A GENERATION THAT WITNESSED THE WORLD GO FROM NO INTERNET, TO BUYING THEIR FIRST COMPUTERS, TO USING FLIP PHONES, TO ADOPTING THE IPHONE, AND NOW, EXPERIENCING THE RISE OF AI. THAT'S CRAZY.' Cue the generational cage match. 'It's called GenX,' snarked one user. But Gen Z wasn't letting that slide. '…it's Gen Z. majority of Gen Z too. gen z wasn't born yesterday like older people think,' fired back another. Boomers had their receipts — and their reasons to be cranky. 'And we have had to reassemble our music collections half a dozen times. No wonder us Baby Boomers get so cranky these days,' an older person fired back. 4 A viral Threads post sparked a fierce online battle over which generation has ridden the wildest tech wave—from no internet to AI. Mikalai Saevich Others turned nostalgic. 'We watched the world go from analog to digital in real-time,' an additional commenter wrote. 'From burning CDs to streaming everything on demand. From landlines to smartphones that replaced 10 different devices.' Some are even rewinding. 'And I am now reversing it all. Going back to flip phone, CDs in the car, getting rid of social media and entertainment apps, and regulating my nervous system,' declared someone else. Experts say millennials might have the strongest case for the crown. 'What's unique about this generation's relationship with technology is that they didn't grow up with the expectation that every interaction would be mediated by a screen—and yet they have become deeply fluent in it. That fluency is both a bridge and a burden,' Elika Dadsetan, executive director of VISIONS, Inc., told Newsweek in a recent interview. 4 Gen X, Gen Z, and Boomers all threw shade, each claiming their own tech grind deserves top bragging rights. Christina Muller, an elder millennial and licensed workplace mental health strategist, agreed, telling the outlet, 'We're the only generation to have straddled both an analogue and advanced technology world.' Unlike Gen Z, she said, there was no digital map — only constant pivoting. Millennials, Muller noted, 'know the thrill of laughing with friends more often than typing 'haha' on our devices.' And as one commenter reminded everyone: 'The peak irony is that it's the same generation that grew up with all apocalyptic sci-fi movies where humanity gets controlled by artificial intelligence and robot.' From cassette tapes to ChatGPT, the generational scoreboard may never be settled — but at least everyone can agree on one thing: nobody misses the sound of dial-up. 4 Boomers came armed to the comments section of the Threads post with receipts — and plenty of reasons to be grumpy. neenho_ And speaking of things that make older generations clutch their pearls, Gen Z's latest workplace stunt has the internet in a full-blown comment war. As previously reported by The Post, Gen Z has already built a rap sheet of office crimes — mumbling into phone calls, showing up dressed for laundry day — but one intern just raised the bar. A young hire at an AI startup told their boss they were taking a vacation because their 'energy felt off,' according to a viral Reddit post from the stunned supervisor, who even shared the last-minute email for proof. Supporters hailed the blunt message as peak Gen Z confidence and a step toward healthier work-life boundaries, while critics slammed it as unprofessional and entitled, warning such moves could sink future job prospects. 4 Experts say millennials have the strongest claim to tech crown—they didn't grow up glued to screens but mastered digital life anyway, making their tech fluency both a gift and a grind. Liza Fernandez The dustup reflects a broader generational clash over workplace norms, with Zoomers unapologetically prioritizing well-being — even if it ruffles corporate feathers. whether you're Team Flip Phone or Team AI, one thing's clear — the tech wars aren't over, and neither is the battle for office etiquette.

Damon Albarn, PinkPantheress & More Join Brian Eno's Together for Palestinian Relief Concert
Damon Albarn, PinkPantheress and Jamie xx are among the names confirmed to appear at British musician and composer Brian Eno's Together for Palestine gig. Taking place at London's OVO Arena Wembley on Sept. 17, the event will raise funds for the Choose Love charity, with all proceeds going to support Palestinian-led organizations providing humanitarian relief. Tickets are available now via My Ticket. More from Billboard Carnie Wilson Pays Tribute to Dad Brian Wilson Following Family Funeral: 'God Knows What We'd Be Without Him' 60th Anniversary of Beatles Show at Shea Stadium to Be Celebrated by New York Mets Hilltop Hoods Set New Benchmark With Seventh ARIA No. 1 Album Other acts confirmed to perform at the show include Bastille, Cat Burns, Greentea Peng, Hot Chip, James Blake, King Krule, Mabel, Obongjayar, Paloma Faith, Rachel Chinouriri and Sampha alongside Palestinian artists such as Adnan Joubran, Faraj Suleiman and Nai Barghouti, with more performers to be announced in the coming weeks. PinkPantheress, Rina Sawayama and Riz Ahmed are also slated to contribute with an appearance. More names are set to be revealed in the coming weeks. Eno will serve as executive producer for the evening along with production managers Khaled Ziada, Khalid Abdalla and Tracey Seaward. 'In the face of the horrors of Gaza, silence becomes complicity. Artists have always helped societies to point out injustice and imagine better futures,' he said in a statement. 'That's why this concert matters. It's time for us to come together – not just to raise our voices, but to reaffirm our shared humanity.' Ziada added, 'In a world where governments and mainstream media have fallen silent in the face of genocide, this gathering becomes a chorus of resistance – where artists and communities come together to grieve, to rage and to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Palestinian people, and with all those who suffer injustice.' Upon announcing the event July 31, Eno posted a lengthy statement to Instagram that discussed his intentions behind launching Together for Palestine. 'What we are witnessing in Gaza isn't a mystery, and neither is it a blur of competing narratives making it 'hard to understand',' it read in part. 'When dozens of non-partisan organisations like Amnesty International and Doctors Without Borders describe it as genocide, the moral line is clear. We can't remain silent. Which is why I'm helping to organise Together for Palestine – a night of music, reflection and hope at Wembley Arena.' He added: 'My sincere belief is that this evening can become a moment of courage where artists come together to speak the truth in their hearts – which is what we trust artists to do. Whether on stage or by video from around the world, this is a chance for us to stand together and say: this can't continue.' The war was sparked by the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks, during which more than 1,200 Israeli civilians were killed by Hamas fighters, who also took more than 250 hostages. Since then, Gaza's Health Ministry has reported that more than 60,000 Palestinians have been killed. In late July, the World Health Organization reported that malnutrition rates among civilians and children have reached alarming levels. Eno formed part of a group of musicians in July who announced the formation of a syndicate for artists speaking out about Israel's military assault on Gaza, who they say have been subjected to 'aggressive, vexatious campaigns' by pro-Israel advocates. Other names involved include Fontaines D.C., Kneecap and Massive Attack. Posting on Instagram, the artists said their aim was to protect other artists, particularly those at early stages of their careers, from being 'threatened into silence or career cancellation' by organizations such as U.K. Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI).

60th Anniversary of Beatles Show at Shea Stadium to Be Celebrated by New York Mets
The New York Mets will celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Beatles' landmark performance at Shea Stadium on Beatles Night at Citi Field on Aug. 15. During the game against the Seattle Mariners, the team will honor the 1965 performance, which at the time was the first rock show at a major U.S. stadium, according to the Associated Press. The old Shea Stadium — which opened a year before in 1964 — was home to the Mets and the New York Jets before being torn down in 2009 to make way for Citi Field. The landmark show by Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr was chronicled in the 50-minute documentary The Beatles at Shea Stadium.
