    Yeah GenX is STILL doing this. Though be of good cheer my millennial brethren...When Skynet takes over, we'll be secure as long as we slave for the overlords. The rest...?

    We'll pray for you.

        Left out of the meme, not left out of being called to fix shit.

        We truly are the middle child of generations, forgotten until we are needed.

          Gen X - who, let's face it, wrote most of this stuff - gets forgotten again.

                          Utter BS. I’m on the old end of Gen X and I’m still building PCs for people and troubleshooting their shit when it breaks. I have yet to meet a much younger person who can do it as well.

                              People can be exceptions to the norm. Most GenX we all interact with are as hopeless as the boomers.

                                Let’s settle this once and for all.

                                I’m Gen Z. Quiz me on how computers work.

                                  Though i’m the very tail end of genX and a ā€œcomputer expertā€, I pretty much think that the millennial generation being the only generation was all part of a solid de-education plan. At the rate we’re going Its only a matter of time where the tech we have today is forced to be only approved OS, controlled, monitored and IT capable people who know how to bypass will be arrested for violating the law.

                                  The water is starting to get warm…

                                    Younger GenX are basically Millenials (but cooler and less uptight), and older GenX are basically Boomers (but nastier and louder).

                                      i figured gen z would start fixing my computer once i hit my current age (41); turns out i dont know any gen z's that understand how computers work.

                                      im really tired of being everyone's tech support šŸ˜ž

                                        We were the first (of non-computer types) to adopt the web. We rode the AOL Instant Messenger train. What are you talking about.
