Actually First microchip was invented by a member of the Silent Generation... just saying...
Edit:
Just checked first cell phone also Silent Generation.[This message has been edited by skywurz (edited 03-09-2021).]

When I was a kid, I did as I was told, as I entered into my teens, I questioned just about everything my Dad said, thought and believed. I knew better and understood the world much better than he did, he was obviously confused. As I entered adulthood, my Dad was learning, getting smarter about how the world worked, now as I sit here as an old Boomer, I finally figured out that Dad knew best all along. Funny how Dads are so dumb but get smarter as we grow up.
Some things are learned the hard way no matter how hard we try to teach a better way. I assure you, I've learned some hard lessons. Such is life I guess. I'm still learning.

Carrying a phone is choice, same as not taking an experimental RNA injection.

It's even more humorous when they use the image of a "boomer" like Bill Gates in a meme trying to insult their elders....[This message has been edited by randye (edited 03-09-2021).]

Martin Cooper, byname Marty Cooper, (born December 26, 1928, Chicago, Illinois, U.S.), American engineer who led the team that in 1972–73 built the first mobile cell phone .........
In your youthful zeal and ignorance to try to prove your elders wrong you missed the salient fact of when the technology was made possible but instead just looked at birthdays.....
You made the same error for both inventions son.

I think i agree this is the natural progression of things.

Actually I did note the dates. I then went and looked at the people responsible IE got the credit. A boomer would have had to be 13 at the oldest to help with the microchip "The pioneers known for inventing microchip technology are Jack Kilby and Robert Noyce. In 1959, Kilby of Texas Instruments received a U.S. patent for miniaturized electronic circuits and Noyce of Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation received a patent for a silicon-based integrated circuit."
For the cell phone sure the oldest boomer would have been 26 and could have helped but the credit went to Marty Cooper. Also looked at Apollo 11 in case someone wanted to give credit to boomers for putting man on the moon 
To be clear what i meant with boomers was their political stances and ideals. I find that in my experience boomers are the most passionate about their political side and have their heels dug in deep. This makes talking about any opposing viewpoint fairly pointless.

Many boomers started on the other end of the spectrum and learned by experience, trial and error, that it didn't work. That is why we are now firmly entrenched in our beliefs. They are not just theories, they are tried and true plans.
