Interesting, I am 40 and I probably use too many gifs. They are such a convenient shorthand for sometimes complicated/opposing feelings. Wild to me that a 42 year old wouldn’t be able to comprehend that. I’ve been using the internet/cell phones to communicate with friends since my late teens so maybe that’s it.

Idk. I love gifs. They do express complex emotions and they're fun.

i know people older who also use tons of gifs. it’s very normalized for millennials and some gen x. i think this dude is a luddite.
