Yeah, that's it, I'm GenX, but I actually had a PC in the home as early as I can remember, got my own by age 8 and build my own age 10.

That's how some of these generational boundaries blur together, where the experience that defines one, can already have been part of the previous in specific circumstances.

And personally, I've VERY interested in seeing 10 years down the line when we have the first adults who grew up with on-demand streaming and tablets/phones.

When I was a child, they shoved a picture book in my hands to keep me entertained while sitting still.

Now, you give them a tablet and they can watch YouTube or cartoons, right in their hands.

Really wonder what difference this kind of thing will cause.

And the late Gen-Xers, who, if they were nerds, often were the first to grow up with computers and internet in their lives.

I'm 45, I know plenty people my age who are grandparents.

Me personally, I was always on the bleeding edge of tech, worked in tech all my professional life too, so I'm less affected by this behavior.

But it makes it really hard to keep in touch with people my age online.

I was one of the first to join Facebook and one of the first to abandon it. But I had to make a new Facebook account about 5 years ago because these days my whole family keeps in touch through Facebook and sets up family gatherings through it and Whatsapp and lost the ability to text me that info ...

Yeah, the US especially is bad in that way.

And the fact the niceness is clearly forced and fake doesn't help.

@Endorkend@kbin.social avatar

I'm oldschool.

I've had my own domains and mail servers for the past 3 decades and will maintain them for as long as I live.

And these days, all but the storage runs of Pi3, so it's barely using any power either.

Between highschool and starting uni, I did a small stint as a cashier.

I called the cops on two people, one was stealing beer, the other some keychain. Both cheap items, but not necessities.

I saw multiple people steal baby formula and diapers and there wasn't a bone in my body that even thought of calling the cops on them.

The first are stealing to steal.

The later are stealing to survive.

Imho the law should make a clear distinction between the two too.

Imagine how stupid we look to water dwellers with our methods of self propelled moving trough water.

I bet the water fauna doesn't consider it swimming either and probably would have some funny name for it if they used a universal language.
