I’m 54. We built this shit from the ground up. We went from zero internet to dial-up as we went from teens to young adults.
We installed the first DSL and cable lines, mitigated Y2K in the field and on the keyboard.
We straddled the digital divide. We’ve seen it all.
tl:dr; Lawn. Off of it.

I came into this thread all puffed up with pride, only to be humbled by your post. Humility is important, thank you. Please accept my upvote as an insufficient offering to those who came before us.

Thank you! GenX is a unique generation. I often wonder what it was like at the dawn of the Industrial Age.
