I could substitute it for child, another group of people who are broadly less likely to know where the setting is, and it wouldn't be offensive that way either.
As someone who was born before the moon landing and saw one of the last IMPs get installed on the ARPANET, yeah that was offensive. You should apologize.
Knowing to silence your phone in meetings is a matter of having manners, not age.
Just as no-one would begrudge a dominated race from poking fun at the dominant race, I don't see why you are so on your high horse about the dominant age group getting the same. 'Punching up' is fair game where I come from.
I'm afraid I just don't get your outrage at an innocent comment poking fun at the most dominant section of society. But, as you're the second person to have taken offence, I'm going to delete it anyway.
