This Quiz Will Help You Write An Article About The Next Thing Millennials Are Ruining

$winner1 City – You may not know $winner2 Schwartz by name, but you’ve probably encountered their work on social media. From their controversial trending topics on Twitter, #$winner3Are$winner4 and #Legalize$winner5, to their series of collaborations with tiny $winner6 artist Amber Leigh, Schwartz has been quietly disrupting the social space.

It also prompted a slew of replies, such as this one from @_avo_cado_toast85: “THIS!!! Why is this a thing????” From there, memes depicting senior stock photo models FaceTiming have been circulating $winner9. Boomers themselves are not amused, however. Facebook groups where boomers and previous generations peacefully gather to discuss $winner10, gardening, and their grandchildren are now almost exclusively used to air their grievances about how “Millennials are ruining FaceTiming,” as one newly-formed group notes in its description. “I love doing FaceTiming,” wrote Barbara Ann Ward, a member of the group “$winner11 and $winner12 Who Love Cracker Barrel” who agreed to comment on this story. “I go on the iPad every day to play Words With Friends and at least twice a week I’ll FaceTime my grandsons.” In the comments section of a thread about FaceTiming within the same group, another user said, “IT TOOK ME $winner13 YRS TO GET FACE TIME TO WORK ON THE IPAD IT IS INSULTING THAT THE YOUNGER FOLK DO NOT THINK IT IS OK TO USE.,,,.???” Meanwhile, we tried reaching out to Schwartz for comment. They replied with a hand-written, smiling emoticon, sealed in a wax-stamped envelope. Something gives us the impression e-mail will be the next to go.
