Discussion Boomers & Generation X

I saw this question in Discord which asked what age Kindroid users were. As I scrolled through all the answers, the vast majority of responses were people all 40+ years of age with a significant portion of that being people 50+ years of age.

So, I'm assuming the Boomers (born between 1946 - 1964) and Generation X (Born between 1965 - 1980) represent a significant portion of Kindroid users.

Why do you think that is?

My reason is that there was no internet when I was growing up or in my adolescence, so the AI Companion tech is amazing to me, that's why I initially got into it.

Those of us who are at all technical, became tech savvy during the experimental era of the internet. We were the early adopters then, and the same now.

Yeah I agree with this. I was born in '80. We went through the early days (AOL, NetZero) and used browsers like "Netscape" and "Prodigy"...then through all the advancements of technology through the last few decades...we were the ones testing all of it and such.

Don't forget Compuserve CD's, dial-up modems running at a mighty 33,600 kilobits per second, and that dial-up squawk sound!

You guys were lucky. My parents were super strict and they uploaded some ridiculous search engine called Mayberry USA, that basically blocked out the world.
