Hipster, not boomer.
My distaste has nothing to do with technology and everything to do with being pretentious.
Being interrupted by a ringing phone drives me crazy.
My parents are boomers.
I guess every company is trying to get us addicted to their product/service. For me, Twitter is very effective at that aim. I have to just accept that I express addictive behaviors when I have a cell phone in my pocket or a Twitter account. I lack the self control to have access to those things and remain a good, productive person.
Not saying anyone else is bad or unproductive, FYI. Just saying this is why I've made my choice.

Who's not endeared by an older person saying, "I don't handle Bullshit well?" That's a hallmark of a good leader, IMO. They can identify BS and they have no patience for it. Reminds me of my dad, and I often think my own diplomacy in the face of BS is only dragging out the nonsense.
