This article explores the generational divide in technology proficiency, highlighting how Millennials, who grew up with digital tools, navigate the tech landscape with ease compared to Baby Boomers who often struggle to adapt. It also underscores the importance of family support in helping older generations overcome these challenges and stay safe online.
A recent report by McCrindle suggests that Baby Boomers are seen as the standard-bearers for manners and social etiquette, while younger generations may fall short. However, personal experiences and anecdotes challenge this notion, highlighting that not all Baby Boomers are as polite as portrayed.
The upcoming 2024 election hinges on the support of two pivotal voter groups: Generation Z and older generations (Baby Boomers and Silent Generation). While former President Trump gained support among younger voters from 2016 to 2020, he lost ground with older voters and significantly with Gen Z. Gen Z is expected to comprise an even larger share of the electorate in 2024, emphasizing the importance of appealing to both young and old voters for Republicans to regain control of government. Conservative candidates must address the concerns of younger voters, particularly regarding the rising cost of living, to secure their support. Collaboration between older and younger conservatives is essential to overcome generational stereotypes and unite against common enemies. The Association of Mature American Citizens (AMAC) and Turning Point USA are collaborating to foster cross-generational engagement and equip Americans of all ages with the necessary tools to achieve a historic conservative victory in 2024.
