Kind of… It’s really that weird bridge period between the two generations. 1980 seems to be the sweet spot. The further your birth year is from it, in either direction, the less tech savvy they seem to be.

A few years ago, my wife and I left the Mormon church. That helped a lot. Along that line coffee makes me happy.

Made me think of the first season of Halt and Catch Fire.

Pretty sure they’d take everything you just wrote and say, “that sounds like critical race theory, which Jesus said was bad.”

Shudder. I had this weird brand laptop… Sotec IIRC and there just wasn’t a modline that ever got it all right.

Isn’t it more like a network of several billion dumb computers?
