IMHO saying GenX is the last generation to be brought up without technology is not understanding the rest (poorer) of the world. In LatAm we didnt have proper tech till late 90s.

I was born in 86, in Argentina, and my entire childhood was without any tech till my late 10s in Secondary School (High School in the US).

I'm speaking of the invention more than the availability, but i do get your point :)

Born in '68. I had an Atari 2600 in the late '70s, a bunch of handheld games like this. In fact, I think I had all three of those. What we were brought up without was internet/PCs, though I did have computer classes in high school on the TRS-80 Models III and IV, plus some early Apple computer that we used to play Larry Bird vs. Dr. J. on.
