> This makes me think, as I've thought previously, that the generational labels seem too broad for the pace of change in information technology over the last 40 years.

Yeah, no kidding. I'm an older millennial as well, and I didn't have a dumb phone until my senior year of college, let alone a smartphone.

My experience growing up was so much different from someone born just 10 years after me, even though we're technically in the same "generation".



I'm Mid-GenX. I didn't have a cordless landline phone until after college. I got my first dumb phone when I was 25 or 26.

Now get off my lawn. :)


Hm, I think we got our first cordless when I was in 4th or 5th grade. First phone I remember was rotary, pulse-dial.
