I think that entirely depends on where at in GenX you were born. My mom, aunt and uncles were older Gen X (65-72) and can barely use computers at all. My friend born in 78 gets along just fine though and has never once asked me for tech support. Our school didn't get a dedicated computer lab until most of the older GenX students had graduated. By the time I entered kindergarten in 91 we had a dedicated computer class with Apple (IIes or IIcs maybe?) and by the time I was in high school we had an A+ and CCNA elective class.

lmao. my dad was the only Xer i knew growing up who could do anything but Word without fucking everything up. Most of gen x was taught to use the computer by their children because we were tired of uninstalling 30 toolbars and running malware bytes twice a week.
