Only one generation knows how to fix tech...

And we GenX are happily left out of this one.

If they want to take over from my gen-X ass from doing everyone's fixing shit, I'm all for it.

Eh. Genx understood how to work a VCR and deal with the rat's nest of cables behind the TV
Computers are millennials

Even Skynet will forget Gen X, trust me.

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.

Installs arch Linux.

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 “computer expert”, 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
41 myself and the future scares me for too many reasons, this definitely being one of them.

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

I had home computers 10 years before the internet really hit.

AOL instant messenger was late to the party. ICQ started the instant messaging fad… that little “uh oh” notification sound is permanently burned into my brain.

This is an older story, but I installed Xubuntu on an ssd in my boomer parents Vista era computer to keep it running. They really didnt know the difference, my mom only played solitaire while Thunderbird was managable for my dad. My millenial neice and nephews had no idea either, I'd find exe files they would download, but noone ever said anything about why they didnt work anymore. They have no idea about how computers work.
I'm not very technical, but I had to move a jumper on my old 386 when I upgraded my modem.

It’s funny how bubbles can change so much. In my personal experience, most Gen Z people know their way around computers and how to fix stuff. I regularly help my millennial sister with stuff like that.
