As you age how do you share your experiences with millennials without sounding like such an old geezer?

Well, unfortunately, ya kind of don't. As far as I'm concerned, those "geezer" days were the good old days.

They're working on an app for that. This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at December 17, 2016 3:00 PM MST

I teach undergraduate students. It works if you share with a sense of humor. It also works better if your story is not " We never had email", but instead your story is a funny or interesting anecdote in which the lack of email plays a part.

No matter how hard you try, you can't fool them into not noticing you're an old geezer.

I have embraced my geezerdom...;-D...

I can't communicate with them...they only tlk in txt. I don't care if they listen to me as I have nothing to say to them.

According to you..................probably, geezers are going to sound like geezers no matter what.

From 1976-1979, I NEVER had a telephone. I had to drive 2 miles to the nearest phone booth. 

What do you care if they think you're an old geezer?  You must have had something going for you to get to the age where you are.  Let's see if they can do as well. 

Millennials?? Good grief! At my age I can't share my experiences with 50 year-olds without sounding like a geezer. :(

It's sad millennials will never know about a simpler less complicated world. 

*Sniff sniff* Smells like old people in here.

The "old geezer" view would be that of someone too rude to engage with, but I'd be perfectly happy to talk about pre-"device" days with someone genuinely interested.

Many thajnks for the "Like"!

The other day I was chatting to friend only a few years younger than me about our respective Christmas and New Year's Eve plans. We agreed we're no longer ones for spending a few hours standing in an over-crowded pub just to see the New Year in, and my mate said something like, "We're both becoming a pair of grumpy old men, like Victor Meldrew!"

{For those unfamiliar, Victor Meldrew was the leading character in the BBC-TV sit-com One Foot In The Grave; a humorous but sympathetic study of an elderly man who, despite evident good education and intelligence in his un-stated background, found many aspects of modern life very hard to manage, ranging from poor courtesy to the difficulties of obtaining proper service from shops, utility-companies  etc. And you don't need to be a GOM to meet these problems, either!} 

Thankyou MrWitch
