Did someone just say something? I thought I heard an opinion but it must have been the wind. I was born in 84 and I remember there being older kids but I don't really remember much about them. I remember reading magazines and books and having the world revolve around me. I remember having to learn cursive, memorizing math tables, watching Mr. Wizard, I used a rotary phone, and I even understand a file system. Boomers and younger generations don't know how to use a terminal. The only thing that stumps me is the generation between me and the boomers. I remember someone being there but they just sort of blur together with the boomers now like they were always the same thing.
