    Millennials are old enough to remember analog cameras and photos of people with red eyes. Man, people need to update their definition of which generation is “young.”

      The oldest millennials are in their early 40s now but to boomers they will always be teens.

        Using the most common definition of those born 1981-1996: Oldest millennials turn 44 this year, youngest turn 29. Next year we’ll officially transition to “30s to mid 40s.”

          True. It is not a boomer who made that meme. It is either a troll or yet another bitter Gen X.

        As far as mental maturity goes I skipped from 15 to 65, which is to say I’ve never truly behaved as a normal adult free of childish and/or eccentric whims.

        It was so bad that the PC software that came with the camera often had a red eye removal feature. I remember being fascinated when I figured out you could use it on things other than eyes and it just took the red out of anything.

          Did it do some form of automatic eye detection or did you have to manually select the eyes?

            You had to select the eyes. The software I remember had a little square box that popped up, and you moved it over the eyes and clicked to remove the red eye.

      Hell, even the older Gen-Z grew up with analog cameras, VHS players, paper maps, and no computers.

      I’m not sure people realize zoomers are almost 30, and millennials are nearing 50.
