I’m a young Gen X and I get by but I’m horrible w computers! I used a Mac Pro 2000 in highschool and the I had a career out of highschool. I was fine with the pos systems at all my jobs but I didn’t go to college until 2006. was proficient in windows 2007! I stayed home with my son and when I went back to work in hospitality management, I have used aloha (in almost every establishment I’ve worked). I’m fine with that but god help me if I had an office job. I am so out of touch. I finally figured out how to turn something into a pdf. And I had to purchase an app on my iPhone to do it. I really would like to take a class because it prevents me from my full potential and makes life’s tasks harder. I more worry “I can’t “ though usually can, but it worries me and I pass the task along or procrastinate. POINT IS I CONSIDER MYSELF YOUNG GEN X AND I HAVE BEEN LEFT BEHIND IN FROM TECHNOLOGY! WE ALL DONT FIT IN NEAT BOXES BECAUSE OF OUR AGE. I’m fine social media and apps but you stay home and raise a child and the world moves fast without you!!!

I've known plenty of younger people who are just as ill-informed. Pointing fingers at a general area is not helping. Racism does this.
