All I hear about is "boomers" this, "Millennials" that, "Gen Z" that, etc.

Why no one talk about Gen X? What happened to them? They just vanished like in Infinity War? Or are we mistaken Gen Z by Boomers?

Its pretty much Gen X who grew up programming their own games on Amigas on things like that, Milleniums grew up with iPads and game consoles.

When Gen X dies off I'd say the world's going to have a lot less being fixed all round unless AI gets a lot better.

There's quite a span between older and younger millennials. Older millennials were already in college by the time the iPad was released.

And some of the younger ones were too poor to get one. 93 here and I remember growing up using 95/98/XP/Linux rather than iPads.

I, a millennial, was almost 30 when the iPad launched.
