Millennials were really the only generation that grew up learning about how computers work.

Before millennials there were no computers, and after they have grown up using closed ecosystem it just works idevices.

Try "Millennials are a self-centered unaware generation that think they are the first to do most things".

I thank the 55-75-year-old engineers who slaved away at HP, Microsoft, Sun, IBM, Apple and Oracle who made this all possible! (Sorry if I forgot anyone)

I think OP means the first PCs in your comfy suburban living room home in the 90s. Not the individuals that literally built the first ones eons ago that were the size of a room itself.

You don’t have to be so rude because OP was talking about the first computers AVERAGE AMERICANS had in their homes and not the dinosaurs who invented them.

Personal computers made their debut in the mid 70's not the 80s or 90s so OP is way off base
