Nah, it's more than that. My very boomer parents just sit on the couch doom scrolling all day, and they were late getting smartphones.
Although they also got us Ataris in the early 80s and internet access in the late 80s, so they were technology forward through their whole lives. So maybe they lived more like late Gen X...

I think you are correct. Tech was binning people and older Gen X slid forward identifying with late Gen X much more than those on the other side of the divide.
