Question What's your generation?

I read an interesting article about how different age groups relate to technology. There is a test to find out your "real" generation according to how techno-savvy you are.

http://blog.penelopetrunk.com/2007/0...ake-this-test/

I'm "Gen Jones" but tested as Gen X. (Of course, the results we a bit skewed for me by some of the questions. If I wanted to communicate with my parents, I'd have to use a Ouija board!)

I have an 82-year-old friend who is afraid of her microwave and won't use it. She must be "Gen T." "T" for Technophobe!

Gen X according to this which I guess is technically right. The tail end at least. I turned thirty back in May (I'm 2 weeks older than Star Wars!)

I'm gen-x, almost y. I'm 36 so it's just about right. And Altaira, your 82 year old friend at least has an excuse. I work with some people my own age who still don't have their paycheck direct deposit, can't e-mail, and one 43 year old broad still gets her cash by going into the bank and waiting in line.

There is a good chart on the right.

I turned thirty back in Feb (I'm 10 weeks older than Star Wars!)

I'm also "Gen Jones" according to them questions.

I'm either Gen X or Gen Y.

I can't tell I'm so confused. I was born in late 1978 someone...anyone...anyone! Please help me.
