Yes, but now we have massive numbers of entitled elderly behaving badly. Elders of the past weren’t nearly as bad, so they could be respected. Not so much now.
Example:
Elderly Boomers: Refuse to learn how to use email or messaging services despite having worked in a world that has had it for 30+ years in common usage. Trivializes and belittles anyone who does, claiming that they should ‘write a letter.’
Also Elderly Boomers: Wonder why nobody under 50 ever communicates with them any more.
That said, I do know several older Boomers that communicate electronically just fine - but even they complain about their cohort peers that don’t.

My mother adapted just fine, until 4 years ago when she passed away at age 95. I am 74.
You’re much more ignorant than you suppose others to be.

That's mighty swell of you, sonny. Now get off my lawn.
