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

    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.

    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.

    Edit: I bet I can run circles around some of you millennials 🙂

    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).

    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.

    Chromebooks and iPads as the primary devices in schools have hurt the kids in my opinion. Too locked down to allow for exploration.
