I'm of the generation which has kids old enough to talk.
They are exasperated that we use computer mice.
They are angry that the environment is still being destroyed even though grown ups know better.
Not sure what will embarrass them when they're older - at the moment it's our clothes, shoes, music, and slang.
What?
All the young kids I know hate them. They think everything is going to be a touchscreen.
Especially when it comes to casual games, literal screams of frustration trying to coordinate mice.
Do they know being frustrated by mice makes them boomers?
So, it's a generational sandwich. Gen Alpha and Boomers are the bread, and the mousers are the meat?
I don't like being the lucky pierre in this sandwich
So, we've all accepted 'mousers' as a generational term?
