Gen-X here. The reason they're giving you that advice is because that used to actually work. If you wanted a job, for instance, you needed to comb through newspapers or physically go around and look for places that were hiring. It wasn't uncommon for ads to to say "apply in person." Without the Internet making applying for a job almost trivially easy compared to how it used to be, going through the extra effort of showing up dressed professionally was a way to show that you were serious and willing to put in real effort.

It wasn't, IMO, until smart phones came along that being online REALLY took off, though arguably iMac computers really pushed the "tech is trendy" idea out there.

Yeah I get that, I usually have to reread it a time or two to make sure I understand exactly what's being said. I don't want my middle aged brain to get confused, I'm dumb enough as it is.

Imagine if every gas station worker in just the city alone went in strike.

Meanwhile in the White House... LOL
