    My favorite I’ve heard is a friend made the distinction of Elder Millennial: Old enough to remember life pre-internet, young enough to still be relevant.

        Trying to play red alert or age of empires and having to fill in a box for baud rate, but I have no idea what baud rate fucking is. Now we need to make another phone call and start the whole process over again.

        My first telephone was a rotary. More than once I didn’t call pizza Hut because it had 3 0’s at the end.

      83 here. We’re a bridge generation.

      We were in high school by the time the internet really started picking up, but we’re exposed to tech early enough to learn it.

      We also had much jankier software. I’m finding that the kids coming out of college now in non-tech fields are less tech-literate than 10-20 years ago because all the smart devices they’ve grown up on just do everything for them.
