    Actually thinking about, better test of Gen X/Mill is if you ever used a typewriter. And not ironically or as a hipster artisanal thing.

        The problem with "this is definitely what defines millennials v gen x" is that it never accounts for class, region, $$ …

        Culturally, I am firmly Gen X because I had a nerdy older brother who got us on the computer train early. But Pew says I'm a millennial.

        my secret theory has been that a LOT depends on if you had an older sibling, which defined a lot of your own playthings then.

        yeah. my problem with a lot of these "surely this is the difference" questions is they don't account for regional/class/$$ difference

        I was born in ’75 and have never used a typewriter. My early adopter father bought an Apple II Plus when it came out in ’79.

        Yeah, solidly Gen X, but early home Apple IIe means typewriter use was very limited.

        really? We had the Apple IIe but still needed the typewriter for homework because printers were $$$

        @joshtpm exact same. I had a typewriter on my desk in my bedroom from a young age, and used it.

        @joshtpm taught to type on one. Even bought one at a yard sale.
