Gen "X"- had to help our parents with the computer printer AND help our children with the computer printer.
Gen "X'- the ONLY generation that figured out how to set the clock on a VCR... |

I am amazed we survived given all the things they have banned now “for the children”.

I said 'Yo Ahab, you got my doobage' to one of the kids that works for me yesterday. I think he thinks I was having a stroke.

My young kids are so jealous (I'm an old dad) and want to be Gen X so bad.
I would tell them about the days of bumper sliding home from school. Can't do that anymore. Hell, cars don't even have real bumpers. |

We'll just keep on keepin' on with nary a single fuck to give what you think about it. '72 checkin' in

The worst things about VCRs is that old houses all had switched sockets.
So the fuckers would reset every time you turned the lights in the room on and off. |

1972.
Grew up a true 80s child, graduated high school 1990. Life was great growing up. |

View Quote Boomers could and did figure out the printer and the VCR clock. We just didn't like it and if we could get a kid to do it by acting dumb that was the preferred option. |

I'm old gen X age 56
Most 18 - 23 year olds would have an aneurysm if they had to live like I did from about 85-90 ... No cell phone No social media Telephone attached to the wall Use a physical map to travel I'm glad I lived it. |

Later Xer here, I wish I'd been born at least a few years earlier though since the older members of Gen X clearly had it better.
