Actually had this happen with a boomer long ago. Not saying that insultingly- just a difference in generational cohorts. I use Google keep for all my notes. The guy stopped mid meeting and asked me why I felt he was so boring that I would just play on my phone during the meeting.

I turned the screen and explained the typing was me taking notes. He and I had a good laugh and had a better understanding about this- ever since then I tell new people in meetings with me that I am going to take notes on my phone.

This guy and I became good friends but this is just a difference in technology utilization between generations.
