@janeishly@beige.party That sounds like oldish Millennial at the oldest. I’m about 10 years older than “oldest Millennial”, and the first modem I used whose speed I know for certain was 1200 bps, but the one attached to the thermal-printer terminal my dad brought home once, when I was 9 or 10, was much slower, probably 300 bps tops. I’m still at least 10 years away from a “typical” white-collar-worker retirement. I’m pretty sure you can find people 20 or even 30 years older, whose memories of early computers were “I plugged in patch cables and wired up literal magnetic core memory in my day.”
