I guess I'm a millennial at 21
To be fair the school I went to was trapped in the mid 90s so I still regularly saw VHS tapes and Windows XP for most of my K through 8th grade years
You're just responsible. There's a lot of physical cards you still need to function as an adult and, quite frankly, half of them come up when you're in a car accident and if your plan for that is "it's on my phone" your plan is bad.
There's no guarantee either your phone or your skull won't be cracked when that happens, if nothing else.
This. Electronics like to just not work when you really really need them.
Err Windows xp launched in October 2001, not the 90's. The 'successor' version, Vista, launched in 2007, really only for home use. Windows 7, the successor for schools, offices etc, released 2009.
Vista was supposed to be for everyone, just too many companies didn't take security seriously enough back then.
Win7 was just Vista with a PR upgrade.
Yeah that one hurt
Ok, you got me, I'm a fraud. Mid 90's to early 2000s
You were born after the millénium so I'm not so sure about that. I don't know the qualification but that feels like part of it.
