And looking for reasons to buy new versions of things: phones, laptops, gaming devices, etc. Bonus points if they're on the edge of not being able to afford it at all.

Yup. Have one that expects me to teach them how to use something all the time. Doesn't listen to or bother remembering anything I told them and so expects me to be on call to help them use it every time they want to use it.

Basically, they can't be assed learning anything new and just expect me to do everything for them.

This is in stark contrast to how my grandmother aged, she was basically self-sufficient to the end. So It's been strange watching a lot of boomers, who complain about my generation being too childish, act like dependent children themselves. I know that's probably harsh, but it's actually kind of scary.
