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 and 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’m not saying Milleniums are stupid or anything, but Gen X were the original Hackers and the ones who know all about Nand gates etc. I had zx81 at about age 5 and programmed my own games, I later went Spectrum then C64, following that then Amiga then I was pretty much sent on basic electronic courses to understand all of that and understand how it all actually works at a component level.
At the point of Pcs and the Internet could pretty much pwn any site I wanted at will but behaved “mostly” but I did do some dumb things just for a laugh and to see if I could (mostly dumb things I could do in chatrooms to impress girls like cloning messages from others etc) .
I haven’t really seen anything from Milleniums that makes me think they really know the underlying technology. It makes sense they can be more intelligent of course but they don’t really have the same motivations that’s not to say there aren’t undoubtedly people in every generation who have a stupid amount of potential (even Boomers) .
Also I’m on my seventh Catlsberg so I do apologise if I’m ranting and not making much sense.
