1990, so solidly Gen Y. I remember not having internet access, but I don't remember not having a computer at home. Some of my earliest memories involve playing DOS games.
I think 9/11 is a pretty defining moment. I was in 6th grade that year, so I was old enough to understand what was going on but not old enough to really be interested in politics, so I became politically aware in a world with a war on terror and patriot act.
- run4yourlives 18y agoWow. You know, being exposed to this forum at 18 is putting you miles ahead of where I was at your age. Don't take that for granted, take heed to a lot of the advice here, especially from those who have been around the block.
- moonriver 18y agoWow, seeing someone born in 1990 made me feel old and I'm only a year older. Weird. Wikipedia seems to refer to Gen Y and Gen M though for some reason? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generations#Generation_Table http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generations#Generation_Table
- rms 18y agoThe reference to Gen M shouldn't be there... that table is not the Wikipedia canonical order of generations. This one is better. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_generations http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_generations Feel free to switch the tables if you're feeling so motivated.
- GeZe 18y agoI am 1991, even more solid Gen Y. I was the last in my class to get a computer at home, around grade 6, but I am the second most tech savvy person at my school. I remember my first experiences with a computer. It was at my elementary school, on an old black and white Apple. How times have changed.
