I strongly believe that text based chat apps and messaging services are locking out baby boomers from communicating with their kids and grandkids. I think there are some serious problems with how humans communicate now, which include the frequency, the length, the meaning and the message. People don’t hear each others voices anymore, and it’s making us all go crazy. Were so quick to try and be offended, to try misinterpret the words on the page and assign them meaning where there wasn’t any. Memes are funny and culturally important, but they can be awful too. I think lots of people are tired of sharing memes and emojis as proxies for sharing their emotions. Typing is ponderous and its a big reason we don’t communicate anymore. We’ve all seen how popular podcasting has become. People want to hear people again. We just don’t have anything that lets us talk to each other again. Phones and Facetime aren’t what I’m talking about. It needs to be async. People are busier than ever, and need to be able to respond on their own time. There’s a big customer problem out there, not just for boomers but for the world. Boomering helps change that. Boomering brings personality back to communication. Boomering gives people their voices back.
