Millennial mocks 60 Minutes

Lesley Stahl reports on what's being called the financial technology, or fintech, revolution

Viewers from across the age spectrum posted on Twitter about Lesley Stahl's 60 Minutes story on the fintech revolution.

A few of younger viewers mocked the story as out-of-touch:

@60Minutes just discovered Venmo and Swipe: https://t.co/egNA3JqDjL.. Catch-up, old school media!!!

Im starting to realize I may not be @60Minutes' targeted audience when they had to define "to venmo" on tonight's episode

First they covered M-Pesa, now Stripe! 60 minutes on a mission to bring all the grandparents up to date on fintech 😄 https://t.co/bozwruRcPG

Then there was this appreciative note from an older viewer:

Just downloaded and used @venmo for the fist time. Thanks @LesleyRStahl @shachar_baron @CBSNews @60Minutes https://t.co/UqtzbipeJR

We also heard from a millennial who doesn't like the label:

Uhhh, I have no problem walking into a bank and getting things done. Don't get it twisted, PayPal guy. #60Minutes

Also, my disdain for the term Millennial continues to grow. #60minutes

Some members of that generation were pleased to hear their nickname on Wall Street is "HENRY," or "high earner, not rich yet."

I wanna be a HENRY. @aproegler let's make it happen! #60minutes 💸💰🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/VCMSYlt9sP

My job as a father is going exceptionally well, for my 11 yr old son just asked if we can watch @60Minutes or @CBSSunday on DVR. #newsjunkie

Tick Tick Ticked Off Post of The Week:

Wow @60Minutes, does @stripe's flack have dirt on one of your producers? Was that an ad or journalism? What a milquetoast segment. #fintech
