I’m trying to remember the name of it, but there’s a micro-generation made up of late X and early millennial (Like 78-85 or sokething) that’s seen as the transition generation from the analog world to the digital world.
We’re old enough to clearly remember pre-digital/internet life, but young enough to have been exposed to tech while our brains were still developing. We’re the generation that’s comfortable in both worlds.
We’re also good with computers generally because we developed alongside them and had to learn more about their inner workings and quirks as they were less automatic. All my new college graduates at work are surprisingly illiterate on tech because they grew up in a world of apps that are so automated they didn’t have to learn anything.
Stuff as simple as navigating a network is weird to them, because they’re used to apps just handling stuff like file locations.
On the older side of millennial, I vaguely remember the opening news broadcasts of the Gulf war.
