Insipid Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 I came across this topic today on reddit. One difference is major purchases like airplane tickets. Millennials feel you should make the purchase on a laptop, but zoomers are fine making the purchase on a smartphone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is totally weird to me when I realize that their smartphone is their primary device. Like if they don't have a PC for games or whatever they just don't have a computer or laptop at all. Having a computer used to be like a status symbol. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I can't use a laptop without plugging in a mouse. Edited April 4 by MasqueradeOverture 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of agree with shopping on certain devices that are less used (a laptop versus a smartphone) because it's probably more secure.

Top Gun Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 I just despise doing most things on a touchscreen, especially typing. God I miss my BlackBerry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
André Toulon Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 (edited) Meh, if I'm doing something like booking a flight, I'll use a comp. Mobile is unreliable and just when you think a page has loaded but there's one asset that didn't, and then you try to click a plus or minus or something but then the asset loads and now you've tapped submit....that shit happens way too often for me to trust mobile for more than trolling.

The term doesn’t explicitly apply to an age range, though it’s generally thought of as the last 1/3 of the generation. Xennials are the group of Xers that came of age at the start of the internet age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

André Toulon Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 For those of you still fighting over what a xennial is....it's made up, arbitrary bullshit that remains on a sliding scale because there is no organized gauge for any of this shit, no matter how many factoid pages you visit 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generational monikers are fundamentally arbitrary. They exist mostly to document how changes to social structure, economy, and technology combine to shape a particular group of people. The concept itself didn't become a thing until the Baby Boom happened, largely as a response to fundamental changes in how the "Greatest Generation" changed their approach to raising "Boomers" from their parents'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh ChatGPT, when were xennials born? ChatGPT: Xennials are typically considered to be born between the late 1970s and the early 1980s, spanning roughly from the late 1970s to the early 1980s. They are seen as a micro-generation between Generation X and Millennials, sharing characteristics of both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupin_bebop Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 I definitely remember this. I remember being on the old boards when this was happening, LIVE. Fuck, I remember someone (and whom that someone is) making a meme name about it, and subsequently getting banned over it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
