  • My IT experience as a “Generation Jones” Boomer.

    Older Boomers: Ugh. Please… let me sort it and you just go back to watching TV.

    Gen-X: Ah, you got that? Fantastic!

    Millennials: You’re going to need something better than a phone to set that network up with. We have to do some port forwarding on the new modem, so the camera system can connect, so at minimum we need the office laptop. Can you squeeze under the cabinet and pull those ethernet lines I snaked up from the basement? I think they’re just inside the bottom of the pocket…

    Gen-Z: That is awesome that you want to help! Let me show you a few neat tricks. I’ve got some ancient laptops you can dabble with… they’re bang-up for running torrents, I know you are tight for cash and streaming costs and arm and a leg now. Lemme show you how to save some money.
