They don’t understand technology

Considering most said technology was built by boomers... yeah sure, buddy.

    You're confusing GenX with Boomers - the explosion in Tech was in the 90s, not the 70s.

    Even then, most GenX weren't involved in Tech since when they learned how to use it, it wasn't yet normalized and widespread, so only really people who found such things interesting went for it and generally the personality type of those attracted to power over others is almost the opposite of the personality type of those attracted to solving problem which are expressed in strict and complex logical structures (for example programming languages or electronics designs).

    Indeed it "exploded" in the 90s but was established in the 60s.
    Personality types seem to be spot on.
    Regardless, shoehorning whole generations is just... unproductive. Unless you're claming GenXers are cool, then you're correct.
