We asked our regular contributors through e-mail If “OK Boomer” was a digital assistant like “OK Google” what sorts of answers would it give you to certain questions? We got many interesting responses. Here are some of them. We have just copied and pasted their responses, not editing them in any way.
1. “Ok Boomer, where is the nearest gas station?”
“Okay, so you’re going to want to drive past that building that used to be the old dentist office. Take a right at the large yellow house. Keep going until you see that sign for the restaurant we went to last year and then take a left. If you’ve reached the place where Time Hortons used to be, then you’ve gone too far.”
