Boomers aren’t “bad at tech” ... we built it. 🚀

In this solo episode of Don’t Be Caged By Your Age, I’m celebrating my 69th birthday (and Episode 69!) by busting one of the most persistent myths about my generation: that we struggle with technology.

Spoiler alert: we went from typewriters to PCs, rotary phones to smartphones, vinyl to streaming, punch cards to Pac-Man — and we didn’t just survive, we thrived.

Many of the world’s most transformative tech leaders (Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Tim Berners-Lee) are Boomers.

In this video, you’ll discover:
✔️ Why I launched this podcast after a viral LinkedIn post about ageism
✔️ How Boomers transitioned from analog to digital
✔️ The long list of tech tools, gadgets, and games we mastered
✔️ Why the “bad at tech” stereotype just doesn’t hold up

👋 Now I’d love to hear from you! What tech did you navigate over the decades? Which gadgets, tools, or platforms left the biggest impression? Share your memories in the comments below ... I’ll be reading every one!
