I definitely became less domesticated during the pandemic and I’m still not where I was beforehand, socially. I was even in my late twenties when the pandemic hit, so I should be less susceptible than teenagers/younger children were. It was worth it not to kill a bunch of people by spreading disease, but it wasn’t easy.

That said, I also lived alone and went over 8 months without seeing another person in the flesh, which is unlikely to be the case for younger people.

Gen X seem to be either computer people or totally unaware. Millennials seem to be generally much less knowledgeable than the former and much more knowledgeable than the latter. Obviously there are millennials who are computer people, but my conception of them is more people who got computer science degrees than the person who lives in a shack in the woods and builds his own robots. Boomer computer people are even more formidable.

I’m not saying that’s true, but it’s the stereotype I have in my head.
