[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]George Masnick, of behalf of Harvard puts Generation X in the time frame of 1965 to 1984, Millennials in the time frame of 1986- 2004, and Boomers in the time frame of 1945-1964.

I know lots of people born in the early 80s prefer to identify as millennial, and "generations" has become a part of all areas of popular culture..

How old are you and how do you identify?

Agree with Harvard years delineation.

Gen X lacked tons of internet, cell phone and email use for K-12. Through mid 1980s. We also skipped No Child Left Behind/ Common Core testing and dropped EC programs during the school day BS.

<b>Millennials did not. They literally don’t know what a landline is and starting at 1986 makes way more sense than 1981. </b>

My siblings and I are late 1979-1985 and never considered ourselves or HS, college work peers of the same “vintage” as 1985+ millennials.  We are glad we didn’t have cell phones and social media in high school and college, respectively

Jesus Christ, millennials know what landlines are. We grew up in the 90s! All of us had landlines![/quote]
