    We’re fast approaching that golden age where every president comes standard with PDF creation skills.

      I dunno, mobile devices aren’t “computers”, and Gen-X gets ignored so hard it’ll likely be skipped right over, and we’ll jump immediately into Idiocracy (it’s what plants crave).

      Although I bet Pete Buttigieg knows how:-).

        Harris’ birthdate is October 20th 1964, she’s pretty much Gen X, having had to deal with the 80s crap as a teenager/young adult, hell, 1965 is the first year for Gen X

          Douglas Copeland originally defined Gen X as starting ~1960. That tracks with Gen Jones - 1960-1964 - a boomer subset that had a very different experience from that of classic boomers. I have seen Obama described as a Gen X-er and he’s older than I am.

      A generation or two ahead and it’ll be hard for presidents to operate the holographic interface/brain interface and find typical functions.
