I would argue that it's more or less that humans don't like change, and that boomers get upset about change. It seems that the older you get, the more egotistical/selfish you become.

I'm not saying my grandma is selfish for not wanting to switch away from WhatsApp, but I am saying that it'd be hard to convince her to switch, hence I don't try.

Ever considered that you may be the selfish one for even wanting her to switch?

You want to make your life more convenient at the expense of her convenience because switching from whatsapp is a huge inconvenience.

It's not about age, it's about social connections that keeps you on your toes all life long.
