[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was born in ‘77.  Everyone who was in college or HS when I was a freshman in HS feels like my generation. Everyone younger doesn’t.

(Recognizes this isn’t demographicly true. Just wildly extrapolating from my experience.)[/quote]

I agree. Born in 1979. Kids born in 1985 and afterwards feel like they are a different generation altogether. I think it has to do with the internet and computers. If you were born in the late 1970s/early 1980s you will remember classrooms without computers, teachers who couldn't figure out what to do with the computer when the school finally put one into the classroom, social life in high school and college without cell phones, thinking that the internet was for dorks and geeks who colonized the computer lab and all that and why would you ever want to waste your time on chatrooms and staring at a dull screen. There were even a few years in the early 2000s when we laughed at people who had cell phones as it seemed slightly pathetic. The kids who were born after 1985 were exposed to computers and the internet and cell phones at a much younger age and have different relationships with them, methinks.
