Technically, every generation up until now contributed to modern tech.
But anyway, even if we consider just those who did directly, I am pretty sure you should still also include boomers and even the silent generation.

Seems modern enough already.
Some boomers definitely helped in it, but do remember even the youngest boomers are 60+ now. While they did help, it wasn't anywhere near what gen x and then millennials did. Not discounting them at all. Also while yes the younger era of the net with darpa is from boomers and the silent gen, I'm more talking about what the web and tech is today. They %100 laid the foundation, we just built the rest.
