Cowboy football star criticizes swap for Griner then apologizes

36. A lot of people tend to disregard the "Gen Tags"...

But I think there's quite a bit to it and I've read that people on the fringes of their generation frequently have a harder time in life.

I'm literally sitting on the dividing line of Boomer/Gen X.

What does that mean?

It means that my High School got a Computer Lab the year AFTER I graduated. It means that my parents, teachers and such folks were all "Greatest Gen" folks... although... my Mother is also a Boomer.

I feel like I was born BETWEEN two social, cultural and technological movements.

I remember being quite young and asking my mom for change to buy a Coke from the machine.

I clearly remember you'd swing open the Coke machine door and grab the bottle by the rough serrated cap and pull. As the bottle slid out, the sound of the painted bottle sliding against the galvanized steel arm was memorable.

And then I was first in line for a cell phone, even had one installed in my car with cord!

I watched the moon landing in between Warner Bros cartoons, watched the opening night of Star Wars and watched the Mars lander last week...

I feel like MY sub-gen was sorta thrown into a technological, cultural and social blender and advised to "hold on"

My son, who's around 30 now was practically born with a phone and computer in his hand. He "fits" into modern day life.

I had to adapt to it.
