I'm 31 and a millennial and all of those apply to my childhood.
That is the thing though....for most late Gen X'rs (those that were born towards the end of that generation)...these hacks apply mostly to our teenage years (not our childhood) and older.
Put up a bunch of 80s hacks and those apply to our childhood.
There is the difference

Why did I never think about the very first one. Damnit.

We didn't all have the expensive luxury of call-waiting.

I just recently quit calling google.maps MapQuest after getting made fun of.
I still use MapQuest from time to time. They have that feature where you can estimate your gas expenses for your road trip.

First of all, teenage years are mostly childhood
shite, I remember making mix tapes for people and myself in the 90s still.
Just saying, millennials have way too big of a range of age groups. Due to the curve in technology getting steeper and steeper, age groups/generations should be much narrower.
Over time it progressively gets narrower and its all based on technology. Radio generation, TV generation, color TV generation -- all really wide generations...then today we have major changes every few years that fundamentally change the way we live our lives.
A professor of mine in college used to rant about this. Consumer evolution and technological advancements define generations and the modern generations should be much smaller than what is accepted currently.

I still print out my google map directions sometimes if I'm heading out into the sticks and paranoid about losing cell service.

Man, this brought a tear to my eye. Life was much better back then. Simple.
Not like this shitshow that proggy filth has brought us.

My first computer came with a Streets 95 cd-rom program. Had all the maps on a cd-rom.

Being born in 82, I was told I was gen X for years. And now some people try to tell me I'm a millennial.
Can someone explain this to me??

Channel 46 where I grew up. Those were the days where if you bought a wrestling or boxing PPV you had to drive down to the cable provider and they gave you this cylinder to screw into your TV and then the cable into that. Parents never knew that I took it to my room to unscramble the porn channels. Office was only open Monday thru Friday so dad would pick it up on Friday and take it back on Monday. They never figured out why I still wanted buddies over to watch SummerSlam when I was 17.

I still do this when going to mountains or somehwere i've never been before on a trip. Gatlinburg and Auburn wer the last two we did this for b/c we had kids with us and never been there.
I never needed them. But You never know when you'll lose cell/gps signal or phone dies gets lost. Takes 5 seconds to pull up a route, hit print friendly version and send to a printer. Then toss em in your glove box. The kids will wanna look at it at some point anyhow.
