So, great. Glad we got that out of the way. I accept your belabored concession that millennials don’t have anywhere near exclusive claim to “the most technological change during their formative years”. Which is what this whole conversation was about.
I’m still not sure why you brought up the delineating landmarks used to define generations, which I never expressed an opinion on, but that misunderstanding is behind us now that this conversion is over.

Some GenX literally went from rotary phones and rabbit ears to home internet during their formative years. I know, because I was there. I am describing the years between grade school and late high school for me. My formative years.
> Millennials were the first to experience change while growing up rather than as adults.
Now you’re just being silly.

I see. So you’re arguing that “rotary phones and rabbit ears to the internet” is a smaller technological change than “dumb cell phones to smart phones”.
You might be right about that, but I think it’s debatable.

How do you figure that millennials experienced more technological change than any generation before when the silent generation, boomers, and gen x all lived through the exact same technological changes?

Arkeologerna sounds like the name of the Citadel of Archaeologists.

It’s not a meteor until it enters a planet’s atmosphere.
A space ship can’t be destroyed by a meteor shower unless it’s on the ground.
