They think they know everything and are always quite sure about it. I'm Angela Duckworth. I'm Steven Dubner. And you're listening to No Stupid Questions. Today on the show, how can we heal the tension between generations?

Don't you sort of want to kill off the old people? Also, what's wrong with taking pictures and videos of major life events? Put away your phone. It's the Olympics, damn it. Angela, we have a question from a listener named Jenny Leyden, who is 51 years old.

How old are you? That's my age. What a great age, Jenny. Unless Jenny is Angela, did you perhaps write in to your own show under a pseudonym? I'm pretty sure I haven't, but read me the question.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is $1.49.
