I doubt any of my kids (millennials and gen z) have any clue about any of this. As far as tech is concerned, I run rings around all of them. But that’s just not their thing. We all have things we’re good at. Just like I can’t do the things they’re good at. But the original thought wasn’t really wrong. I went from basic phones, to cordless phones, to bag phones, to candy bar type cell phones, to palm pilot phones, to iPhones with more computer power than some of the first Cray super computers. My first computer had 64k of memory and now I throw out 4GB dimms because they’re too small to keep. A lot of shit has changed in 50 years. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Vreyan31@reddthat.com 1 point 2 years ago The median zoomer can probably talk about it far more accurately than the median gen x-er or boomer permalink fedilink source parent
