Not just millennials… I’ve been family IT support since the late 80s. And not just printers. TVs, cable, VCRs, DVD players, BlueRay, stereos, home theater, networking, WiFi, smart appliances, laptops, tablets, phones, etc.

    I mean, as a millennial I only missed that by a couple of years. I was already the most computer-literate person in the house when I was 7, in the early '90s.

    Were you the only one who knew how to press the input button on the remote to switch devices?

    Trick question: back then, we changed to channel 3 and turned on the device hooked up to the RF adapter.

    Also, my parents struggle with changing inputs on the remote now. I'm not sure if they regressed in their old age or never knew to begin with, but either is plausible.

    I have set up so many home theater systems over the years. And before things like HDMI-ARC or even toslink so it was always a pain to get everything plugged in and working. 14 remotes and a multifaceted spell you had to cast to get sound working. Man what a pain…
