Not working for me. Am I going to have to read docs or search Google like some boomer?

If you are not ok with casually saying racist or sexist things, you probably also shouldn’t say ageist things either.
I think its okay to make little generational jokes. Its not like they said .. "Do I have to google this like some old f*ck?" ... Certain generations are slower to pick up technology.
With Google'n'co you at least know when search is wrong.
Don't people often fall into the "vaccines cause autism" trap from Google?
(speaking as a just-slightly-pre-Boomer) Yes. But probably not for long.

However, you might want to get used to it, as it looks like it might happen not uncommonly.
