We're fast approaching that golden age where every president comes standard with PDF creation skills.
I dunno, mobile devices aren't "computers", and Gen-X gets ignored so hard it'll likely be skipped right over, and we'll jump immediately into Idiocracy (it's what plants crave).
Although I bet Pete Buttigieg knows how:-).
Harris' birthdate is October 20th 1964, she's pretty much Gen X, having had to deal with the 80s crap as a teenager/young adult, hell, 1965 is the first year for Gen X
Usually the cusp of Gen-X is 1965, so even she is Boomer/Gen-X
Douglas Copeland originally defined Gen X as starting ~1960. That tracks with Gen Jones - 1960-1964 - a boomer subset that had a very different experience from that of classic boomers. I have seen Obama described as a Gen X-er and he's older than I am.
Not with their average ages creeping up. It’s the same generation of of people over and over.
they gotta dtop being 80 for that tho otherwise it'll take another 20 years or so
A generation or two ahead and it'll be hard for presidents to operate the holographic interface/brain interface and find typical functions.
