I was born in 81. I identify as X but it's a weird spot. We were the laSt group of people to go to school without the Internet and remember the cold war. We came off age after 9/11. I think people born between 79 and 86 are a generation unto themselves. I've heard it called the Oregon Trail Generation

HeLl my first experience with the Internet was pre Web. There was usenet, telnet, FTP and Gopher.
I used to call BBSs with my 56K modem and pissed my dad off because he was waiting on a call.
There were no MMORPGS there MUDS and MUSHs

Who came up with that dumb name?

There was so much advancement in technology when we were young. Some 80s babies remember the time before computers and cell phones, some grew up with it. That's why I always feel we don't belong to either genx or millenials.

Born in '79 and feel the same. We were raised to live in a world that no longer existed by the time we graduated college.

81 as well and exactly how I feel. Didn't have Internet access until I got to college, and a cell phone until Jr year at LSU. Extrapolate that with having parents born in 1940 and 45 and being very old fashioned. The people at work in their mid 20s definitely view me as closer to those at work in their 50s as opposed to them.
