[BuckRogers]

I always loved this name for my generation. I came across this term and this wiki article years ago and it's very fitting for people my age. Maybe those born from 78-84? I was born in 82 and I know for sure I'm the Oregon Trail generation because I played The Oregon Trail in grade school. And, I remember the Challenger blowing up when I was in kindergarten.

And the big differentiator for me is simply the lack of commonality that we have with the generations after us. Xennials really had the same basic childhood that someone had going all the way back to the 1920s. Anyone that grew up with electricity and at least the Model T that is.

The easiest way to differentiate between newer generations and all that came before if they ever remember a time before the internet at all. Because that and smartphones were the two big game changers for society that I witnessed.

The internet changed the economy enormously, and the smartphone revealed how stupid and manipulated people could really be.
