[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1978 here. I think a lot of us younger Gen Xers bridge the gap between the Boomers and millennials. There are aspects of both that we can’t relate to, but a lot that we can. It’s a unique position to be in, really.  We are the pragmatists who can deal with both sides - if they cared to listen to us, that is. Shrug. [/quote]

This is why I think the micro-generation 1975-1985 ish makes sense. The "Oregon Trail" generation or the "Bridger" generation, sometimes Xennials. Basically those of us who grew up without the internet and cell phones, etc. but were introduced to these things early enough to adapt to them fairly easily.

I think 1980-1985 would be more appropriate [/quote]

1980 is too late.  I’m 1978, and when I was in high school, email and the Internet were just starting to become a thing.  When I got to college in 1996, the senior class at the time hadn’t started college with routine email use, but my class used email for everything.  Not many of us had cell phones in college, but right after college, almost everyone did.  We didn’t grow up with that kind of technology, but it came around in time for use to embrace it while we were late teens/early 20s, and we adapted/embraced it more readily than out older genx peers.

At the same time, I think 1985 is a little on the late side to claim this, because they got a lot of this same technology as younger teens, so they grew up with it more than we did.[/quote]
