I never got it when some Gen X'ers say they were the last gen to play outside and not have technology all around them. Plenty of us millennials were the same way. Sure, some of us had internet in our homes, but it was vastly different than how it is now and we weren't on it as much.

Because we didn't.

I didn't have internet in my house until I was 19.

We had "computer class" in high school, that basically was a typewriting class, because it's really the only thing we used it for before the internet was mainstream.

Now, my kids are given a chromebook on the fist day of school, and 90% of their classwork and homework are done on a computer and emailed to the teacher. I didn't even have an email address till I was 20.
