    lol. My dad’s a retired engineer and my mom was a computer programmer. Literal actual baby boomers.

    I work in IT. Gen-X. Which you forgot because you’re bad.

    My daughter just got her degree in Cybersecurity. Millennial.

    tl;dr: STFU with this stupid inter-generational tribalism, it’s wrong and stupid.

      Actually agree.

      By age I would be late gen-Z / almost gen-A. I grew up in rural middle-east and was introduced to home internet for first time in highschool(2020)

      Where would I fall?

      My grandpa was a robotics engineer and thus knew how to use a PC quite well but watching him operate Windows 10 basically without utilizing any tools that came after DOS was bizarre.

        To Microsoft’s credit, they have historically been very good about ensuring backwards compatibility. There are a few notable exceptions, but for the most part you can treat Windows as if it is DOS, and it still mostly works.
