Can we force the boomers to retire yet?

I just had a severely frustrating call at the end of an extremely frustrating day. I take IT support calls for a U.S. company, and this was the lovely exchange I had today. ​ Caller: I’ve been away for a while and I need to run a quote. Me: No problem, are you already logged in at {company website}? Caller: No, where do I go? Me: You’d want to head over to {company website} in your web browser. Caller: My what?!?! How do I do that? Me: ……{blinking gif as I have a small aneurism} ​ Can we all band together and fix this economy, if for no other reason than so these boomers (who haven’t been technologically competent since fax machines were a breakthrough technology) can finally retire? This is absolutely maddening and makes everyone’s day who has to support them more tedious.
