I think cool tech stretches farther back than that. Sure us Gen X engineers didn't have the Internet growing up, but we had Star Trek, Star Wars, the space shuttle, arcades, Apple II's, etc to inspire us to become engineers. And don't forget the Internet bubble of the late 90's; that surely would have brought a lot of fresh faces into tech.
- Clubber 8y agoYes, it was the dot com bubble when being a tech person was cool. Before that, we were dorks.
- mythrwy 8y agoDorks until there was money in being a dork than dork isn't dork anymore, it's cool. When the money goes away it will probably go back to being plain old dorks and here we'll still be dorking along.
