Same for me, but I guess I'm a little younger since my console was NES and, later, a Gateway 2000 computer.
I'm so glad that I had those experiences and so sad that my son won't. I hope that I can give him enough of a similar experience that he can at least identify with Calvin and Hobbes.
Us xennials are a special mini generation. Analog childhood, digital adulthood. The average xennial is quite proficient with computers and other tech, compared to those who were born before AND after. You see we had the childhood curiosity when the internet was starting to catch on. We learned how to navigate in DOS or early Windows. We had to figure shit out because these things were not easy to use.
I thought, when I was a teen, I can't imagine how good with this stuff the kids being born today will be. But I was very wrong.
This is so accurate!
