My parents are Gen X, me and my older brother are Gen Z.

Parents keep asking, nay, DEMANDING, for us to fix their shit. Then i proceeded to have a fight with my brother about who's responsibility is it to fix it.

Parent's don't know how to use a tax filing website 🤦‍♂️ (Tbf, they don't know how to fill out paper forms either).

The first time we've ever touched a real computer with internet access was around 2010, before that, we were in mainland China and we had no internet (either too expensive, or unavailable as a service in the areas we lived in, not sure which, or my parents are just being cheap)

Gen Z / alpha: "fix the computer? Do you mean the phone?"

But I'm Generation Z and I have to update my mom's Linux Mint laptop because she can't pay attention when I show her.

Where did Gen X go?

Am i a rare GenZ or do i just hang around with unicorns because we are all active in IT. Me programming nog hardware but still

There are nerds in every generation.

I'm GenX, I bought my first PC in 1988, and made a living in part, setting up LANs, back when knowing anything at all about computers could get you a job. GenX early adopters taught millennials computers.

Gen X, Millennials, Gen Z, etc. are marketing bullshit that need to stop being used in the common lexicon.

Deletes entire hardrive.

Installs arch Linux.

"OK it's fixed, gotta go, see ya!"

I wish!

Not in my household.
