There are certain things that distinguish one generation from another. It’s more than your age; it’s your attitude and your way of life. For example, while the older Baby Boomer generation may prefer phone calls and leaving the ringtone at full volume, the younger Millennial generation appreciates the vibrate setting and is skilled at socializing through social media.
People have been tweeting about the differences between Boomers and Millennials, and these tweets emphasize just how many cultural differences there are between these two generations. Scroll down for some great examples.
