What I find mildly baffling is that I, a card-carrying member of Generation X, seem more at ease with technology than both the generation before and the generation after me. It's like I'm surrounded by idiots or something.

Goddamnit, I just spent another chunk of time searching for an old anti-marijuana PSA I remember from the late 1980s or early 1990s that was unintentionally funny. It's a black girl sitting a classroom and talking to the camera, saying that people claim marijuana is bad for you, that it hurts your memory, and that she's been "smoking pot since... Since... [confused look]." I've searched for the drat thing multiple times over the years, but have never been able to find it.

I think a true badge of being a Gen-Xer is remembering late nights watching Friday Night Videos on broadcast TV. I was going to link Men Without Hats "Safety Dance" but relented at the last moment.

I remember having a 300 baud modem for our Commodore 64 and browsing Compuserve with it. Going up to a 1200 baud modem on an IBM-compatible 8088 running DOS and connecting to BBS sites instead was so much better. I engaged in online trolling before there was an Internet.

I remember the dark days where I used AOL as my ISP, and had to run a keep-alive program to keep it from logging off during long downloads.
