Do you think Boomers are so used to having to change how they do things – having been born into black and white television, typewriters, and little/no acceptance of homosexuality – that some of them just automatically accept any “updates” that seem to have been mandated by society?  Like, the same older woman could been told that burritos are now eaten with the feet and she would have thought, “No problem.  I’m a savvy senior.  I’ll fill my friends in on the update.”

I can’t think of any society that has changed as much as ours has in the life of a Boomer, especially without an invasion or another drastic change in rulers/government.  I’m afraid a lot of us – not just Boomers – are trained to see any change, even a negative one, as something that must be embraced.
