Boomers had a childhood that was tough as nails. From the effect of World War II, to the bomb shelter practices, it gave almost every boomer a nice big chip on their shoulder. This chip gave this generation an outlook on life that is hard to shake, and it’s harder to convince them to change the way they think. It goes without saying that millennials grew up with a different childhood. Instead of having to go outside every waking moment, they could spend time on the computer.
