Okay Boomer – Drowning in Digital Overwhelm - Craig Mattson

Digital Overwhelm: Talking Across Generations


In a world that never stops pinging, how do we stay human—and stay connected across generations?


Host David Beckemeyer talks with communication scholar Craig Mattson, author of Digital Overwhelm, about what happens when Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z all try to navigate the same flood of digital noise.


From “data vs story” to “sender vs listener,” this conversation explores why we’re all drowning in information, why younger workers seem more pragmatic than passionate, and how switching our modes of communication can build real understanding.
