Very late Gen X or early millenial no. We came through VCR DVD it was a wonderful change. Also Torvalds would be Gen X.

Hahahahahaha, omg that's a brilliant read. Thank you, I will be sharing it with my technical friends (any kind of technical will get it, one friend is in hydraulics and boy, the stories are so like mine in IT).

No generally Gen z is not afraid of tech but doesn't know how it works.

I am Gen X

This sounds like a commercial (fellow GenX here), haha

Al Gore didn't need a smear campaign for his nonsense. I was there too, we were laughing our asses off at the shit he said.

Well put.

Tldr; you got your feelings hurt over a meme

As someone already said, you forgot Gen X. When I ask someone to open a command/terminal window, they have no clue what I’m talking about.

Insert I was born into this meme.

Gen X invented the fucking tech from discrete 7400 logic.

Am I the only one that demands to be called gen y?

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.

As one of the older Millennials (1982), I can say that there is a lot of truth to this meme.

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?

Every generation has its nerds. I'm not suddenly a millennial just because I know how to fix a computer.

Why the fuck are you oversaturating that saturated field, causing wages to drop?

Go study a trade, ffs

And a younger one...

Millenial here:

This is good advice, sage even.

...

EDIT:

I didn't forget the couple of extremely cool and also very knowledgable Gen X mentors/bosses I had, hahah!

... because their Gen X boss told them what to do ...

Shhhh! We don’t need them asking us to fix their shit anymore. Let the millennials pretend they are the only ones that can.

The point is late X/early millennial were the only ones "forced" to fix tech if we wanted to use it (obviously people older than that needed to as well but they were less likely to be into tech). Shit rarely worked out of the box, plug and play was shit, nothing was standardized, etc. Around the late 90s into the 2000s things worked more reliably without needing tinkering, and then apps came in and shifted things even further from tech literacy.
