Meet Gerald "Gerry" Thompson, a retired engineer who graduated from the University of Waterloo in the 1970s. Known for his dry sense of humor and nostalgic tales about the early days of co-op placements, Gerry often reminisces about the simplicity of his university experience compared to today's fast-paced digital world. His comment, “Boomer,” reflects his tendency to poke fun at the generational divide while engaging in light-hearted banter with current students about the evolving landscape of education and technology.
