Let me guess: they're talking about Millennials, and are entirely forgetting about Gen X once again.
Hahaha its funny each time that happens.
My uncle is GenX and way smarter than my millennial ass. They paved the way for child free poppin off and being tech savvy with a normal tech free upbringing.
Anecdotal I know. But always funny how self centered us millenials can be thinking were the last normal generation.
I figured they were talking about the Oregon Trail generation. It's made up of the folks who were old enough and young enough to play the game in schools and spans across parts of X and millennials.
That's a great way to describe our larger cohort! I'm going to use that. I've got so many friends across the Gen-X to Millenial range that all feel like members of the same generation.
Not my term, I just happily co-opted it.
My copy was on a casette
Commodore? I know they had a tape drive and the game. I had an old TI 99/4A with a tape drive and we had Chisholm Trail but it was different.
Yup the PET. I had a copy if the game I got off a friend which was weird as I didnt have a PET though my 1st grade classroom did.
For once they didn't forget gen X-- I think OP is about xennials
Gen X could write a program that'll make a floppy drive's loading noises play the Imperial March.
I heard millennials can't even grow a proper long beard
Punk kids can't even manage enough of an attention span to grow a Gentoo long beard!
Please don't attack like this... Ma kokoro, ma sole.
Probably. But if I’m being generous, we’re really only talking about younger X and older millennials.
This always surprises me as I'm younger millennial and my Gen X dad always feels more technologically behind than me.
But it's funny because I'm only so into computers because of him as he had things like Windows 3.1 and 95 and 98 in our home from a young age and he even went to school for C++ but he doesn't really remember it (it got him an accounting gig) and his pursual of technology these days is pretty limited to pre-built stuff from Samsung and Sony than any real grasp of how it works. I struggle to get him to show even passing interest in something like Linux (like, I get liking Windows; you grew up with it: you're more comfortable with it. But not even curiosity, even if you'll never use it?).
Expert on Excel and OneNote (because it's his daily bread-and-butter) but probably would ask for my help on rotating a PDF.
What OP describes sounds much more aligned to my millennial peers than the bulk of Gen. X I know.
Or those of us from Gen Z that where born just at the cutoff and got tech acces at a way to young age.
*were *access *too
Yup, you're a Zoomer alright.
Who?
Honestly? Why do we let people who have no clue what's actually going on decide the generations?
Oregon Trail generation sounds great.
I'm in the Minecraft generation.
Don't know what the next generation would want to be called, but they're the iPad kids for sure.
Yup!
