I wouldn’t expect gen x to be as largely known for computer illiteracy as those two generations
One of which who first found computers as this strange new technology nobody’s heard of, and the other entering adulthood while desktop computers are slowly becoming irrelevant for some if not most
So in my perslective I would’ve thought Gen X was right there with Millenials in the sweet spot
gen x and y are bullshit arbitrary classifications based on years…. (boomer is based on a real event that makes that generation distinct, so that makes sense)
the true computer masters are the Oregon Trail generation… if you remember the Oregon Trail video game in elementary school, you grew up with computers everywhere but just the terminal and no pictures, and got to interact with it evolving into weird pocket computers and shit….It’s not that arbitrary. Gen-X are the first generation of boomer children. Millennials are the second generation of boomer children who grew up with the internet. These are real events.
People find it easy to fit boomers into a tidy box. Ask the boomers born on the cusp of boomer and gen-x. It’s arbitrary bullshit too. It’s not like baby boomers all came from the boomer factory and then one day they decided, ‘that’s it the boomer factory’s closed’.
people have children at different ages, it’s arbitrary
Yeah, generations in general are bullshit arbitrary classifications based on years.
I agree about the boomer name, too.
