The previous generation said the same but about googling or stack overflow. The previous previous generation than that said the same but about using the library or books. The previous previous previous generation said the same but about using cave drawings or clay tablets.

Why wasn't there a generation between Boomers and Millenials?

Baby Boomers
Generation X (Latchkey / MTV)

Our name is unspoken out of fear

Saw a comment that Genx has the reputation for "feral and unhinged, devoid of fucks" and honestly, fair.

I can't fathom communicating so much via messages and text speak. Don't they ever talk in person?

Who is they? I am a xenial and my wife is X and we text one another from across the house, sometimes across the room.

It's individuals I don't understand. There's strange behavior withing the members of all generations.
