Just in time for the holiday season and your hangout with gram and gramps, Vanity Fair has released a very helpful chart to navigate the generational gap between you and your aunt and uncle that don’t understand why you and your cousins just sit around on your iPhones at family dinner.
Besides getting to understand your relatives better, the chart serves as a conversation piece. For example, pick a category, like “Social Network They Abandoned Facebook For,” and look up your generation and the family members you want to talk to. Armed with this information, you can ask your grandparents about The Rotary Club as a segue into your latest Tinder match.
The next time your older uncle who you never see except at Thanksgiving dinner asks you “why are you making a kissy face and holding your phone up so high” – just show them this.
