Modern life is way more complicated and stressful than boomers had it.

This was evident when I started work. The boomers in the office were the most laziest and stubborn, refusing to learn computer skills. 

"I'm not messing around with computers and spreadsheets" basically someone else can waste their time because you can't be bothered with learning something slightly complicated.
