Society has labeled me yet again. First I was Gen X (read angst-ridden yet apathetic). Then, I was a victim of the Dot-Com Bubble (read laid-off). Then I was part of the 9-11 Fallout (read laid-off AGAIN). But now I’ve been placed in a new social classification. Problem is, this one is the truest of all.

I am part of the Tech Support Generation. Geek is sheik, google is a verb, I read more blogs than “media” news, and life is all about owning games that push my video card and owning a video card that can keep up with my games.

The true litmus test of Gen Tech is explained in this article.

…the Thanksgiving holidays. We’ll sit with our families in warm, candle-lit dining rooms eating stuffed turkey, reminiscing over old photographs, preparing holiday shopping lists and … Please. Let’s be frank. We are going home to fix our parent’s computers.

Yes, we all know it’s true. No sense hiding from the facts.

And just to make myself perfectly clear, I own that shirt, and wear it often, but no one seems to care. They ask, and I end up fixing their computer anyway.
