I'm only 30 and I fully agree!

Completely agree, they'll be the first shouting about how hard life is and the ones with all the latest tech, including private phones that cost £80 odd a month which they simply cannot cope without otherwise ordering their takeaways... on delieroo etc... would involve a phone call!
