Older millennial here, too. This is absolutely correct. (Btw we are called xenials 1981–86)

I dated a girl in college whose dad was one of the founding creators of the internet. Unlike Al Gore lol.

Bullshit. If her dad was one of the founders of the Internet, you'd know that the Al Gore meme was a Republican smear campaign.

I worked for Vint Cerf in the early 90's. This is what he wrote to defend Al Gore against the Republican smear campaign:

He was a hell of a lot more of a founder than Al Gore was. Gore was a marketer at best.

Edit: you all are downvoting without even knowing who he was. Drink piss assholes.

lol. My dad’s a retired engineer and my mom was a computer programmer. Literal actual baby boomers.

I work in IT. Gen-X. Which you forgot because you’re bad.

My daughter just got her degree in Cybersecurity. Millennial.

tl;dr: STFU with this stupid inter-generational tribalism, it’s wrong and stupid.

Here's a 40 second video of Vint Cerf saying Al Gore did help create the internet:

Gen X is the Aslan lion meme: “Do not cite the deep computer repair magic to me, Millennial. I was there when it was written.”

I think what's happening is Millenials are starting to get the "OK Boomer".

Al Gore never claimed to have been the founder of the Internet. Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn both defended Al Gore against idiots like you.

Rush Limbaugh was on the radio daily in the early 90's calling Al Gore's information superhighway a Democratic Boondoggle. Republicans were fighting to kill the Internet. Al Gore was fighting since the 80's to fund it so it could grow into something bigger than a research network.

If Eisenhower can get credit for the US Interstate Highway system despite not pouring a drop of concrete, then Al Gore gets credit for the Internet.

You really love that piece of shit don't you?

I worked for Vint Cerf. I later started my own ISP. I know the history of the Internet because I lived it.

I quoted Vint Cerf. What do you have to support your claim?

interestingly, here in the balkans, there are plenty of gen z techy guys. they aren't full blown engineers but they can fix a lot of basic everyday problems. proud to be slavic lol

It wont even be that hard. Take their gibbity away now and a lot of people (young and old) will be helpless. Or, what will actually happen, minorly change gibbity outputs to fulfill your political agenda to become the first trillionaire, all the while the population doesn't know theyre being fed trash.

Spicy rocks

Asian lion?

Barry Leiner. He didn't like me dating his daughter because I wasn't Jewish. But man did he love his Celica. It wasn't fancy, but it was to him.

Gen X here. If I cared what any of those age groups thought I would feel slighted.

no, they're just choosing to not fuck with this shit because they've had enough

j/k That's awesome.

They mean Aslan, aka big kitty Jesus, from the Narnia books.

Conversely, me and my whole family is dumb as fuck, every generation.
