I dunno, mobile devices aren't "computers", and Gen-X gets ignored so hard it'll likely be skipped right over, and we'll jump immediately into Idiocracy (it's what plants crave).

Although I bet Pete Buttigieg knows how:-).

Harris' birthdate is October 20th 1964, she's pretty much Gen X, having had to deal with the 80s crap as a teenager/young adult, hell, 1965 is the first year for Gen X

Usually the cusp of Gen-X is 1965, so even she is Boomer/Gen-X

Douglas Copeland originally defined Gen X as starting ~1960. That tracks with Gen Jones - 1960-1964 - a boomer subset that had a very different experience from that of classic boomers. I have seen Obama described as a Gen X-er and he's older than I am.
