Quite frankly, the Boomers not only did not invent the Internet and PC, they didn't dispense it neither, the Boomers pretty much shunned computers, it was invented by GG's and War Baby's, it was Gen X who embraced it, then the Millenials who inhereted what Gen X passed down to them.
I lived through the birth of this age, and the Boomers were the least involved, it was Gen X who made it happen, not the Boomers.
I also remember it, but it definitely started as an available technology in the late 70s early 80s. That would put it as late boomers early Gen x. My kids are the first generation to not remember things any other way (millenials).
PC's never took off in the 70's and early 80's, PC's didn't take off until the late 80's, Boomers weren't driving it, it was Gen X, the Internet is obviously Gen X as well, since it didn't take off until the 90's.
You're just wrong, there's no point in being a dickhead about it, unless you're simply incapable of admitting in good faith when you are wrong, at which point, seek therapy I guess.

Perhaps saying that Mexico sends rapists here might get people thinking this way? No?
Trump simply uses rhetoric that will capture attention.
Perhaps demonstrate how they weren't sending their worst? No?

That's not true. Millenials start at 82. Five years older than me, and I was ten when computers and internet blew up. Macs were around, but it wasn't until about windows 95 that shit really got hot. The first time I saw the internet was when my PE teacher went around setting up yahoo accounts for all the teachers in 5th grade. A year later I saw my first PC.

Trump simply uses such rhetoric that captures attention.
Not unless they are dumb enough to think Trump meant that all illegal immigrants coming from Mexico are rapists despite Trump's caveat about some of them being good people. Trump clearly didn't mean the little kiddies being smuggled over the border by their parents are rapists you dummies. Trump was trying to grab attention with the statement, but people clearly misinterpreted it a ridiculous way.

Even when we Gen Xers were on the Commodore 64 back in the 80's, there were no Boomers around, the Commodore 64 was in the kids room, the Boomers were downstairs smoking dope and playing the Rolling Stones on vinyl. Only wealthy people could afford Mac, there were Mac's around, but not many. My buddy had one, his dad was a lawyer, but nobody else I knew had one.

Credit for the original computer, of course, goes to a gay man - one Alan Turing, who created it to crack Enigma..

A bit odd to use a picture Ron Paul, nuke.
Now there is a guy that I do respect. A true American statesman.
