        They’re just place holders until the generation gets a shared experience to refer to. Millennials saw the millennium. Boomers were products of the baby boom but they also saw their economy boom. Gen X are missing, their letter was fitting.

            They really aren’t power users though. Tech is a) generally more reliable and b) so locked-down that so many young people never learned how to troubleshoot
