A cool guide to Generational Timeline
(infosec.pub)
1926-2039
In a thousand years ... they'll just refer to this period as an extension of our Dark Ages, the period where humanity evolved from prehistoric hunter gatherers to a technological species ... we don't think or act any differently than our ancestors a few hundred years ago ... the only difference is that we have satellites, internet memes and nuclear weapons
I meant that that entire date range is marked as Generation Beta. Looks like it was supposed to be 2026 instead of 1926.
Got it .... Nice find ... didn't even notice until you pointed it out
But your original comment just made me think that we look at the immediate generations next to us on a hundred year timeline ... it's very important to us because we're living it right now. But in a few hundred years, they won't look at the different generations, they'll examine entire periods.
It would be like a Roman from the year 100 arguing about the generation from 10BC to 10AD and how much different they are from those born in 20 AD
The differences are obvious to us now .... but they won't matter to a historian looking at larger periods of time in a thousand years.
What a September 2023 comment 😒. Seriously though, that's a neat way to think about it and I agree
Nice precognition device. How do you make it go?
The acceleratrix is here ...
and the deceleratrix is here
I was there Gandalf, one hundred years ago
So we're all actually just Gen Beta then?
Web 3 isn't real, it's a marketing term made up by grifters
Just another way to divide people
Generational distinctions are a useful heuristic in assessing an individual’s shared experience, but they are not dispositive. Think of how many subcultures for baby boomers exist.
That group in the US experienced the sexual revolution, second wave feminism, the Cold War, the Vietnam War…
But also Reaganomics, stagflation, the dot com boom, 9/11.
The Individual’s reaction and lived experience shapes their Selves, but it’s still useful to know where they were in their lives during those events.
@zoe I like the "forgotten generation" for us Xers. I am policy adjacent in the public sector and we occasionally laugh about how there has never been a policy or program directed at X.
thus posts like this are made so someone expert like yours @rogermexico@mas.to could help point out the the context of certain denotations. thank you :)

Something I've always kind of been curious about is it just the year that you were born in that matters?
Yes, it’s tied to year. The folks who are on the borders of generations often find themselves torn between experiences.
I have a lot of friends born in 79/80. They often use the term Xennial instead of X or Millennial. “An analog childhood but a digital adulthood”
Sometimes I hear of Gen X including right up to 82 or 83
Yeah that's kind of where I'm at
Yes
