My wife and I started talking about this after she had to help an old lady at the DMV figure out how to use her iPhone to scan a QR code. We're in our early 40s.

The porn tech pendulum:

Boomers: So your telling me that if I know the right people and go to the right theaters, I get to see porn? (Boomers become good at networking)

Gen X: So your telling me if I buy a TV I get to see porn? (Gen Xs don't get any cool knowledge, so they restrict porn on TV)

Millennials: So your telling me that if I get really good at computers and internet, I get to see porn? (Millennials get really good at using computer technology)

Zoomers: So your telling me if I own a phone, I get to see porn? (Zoomers don't get any cool knowledge, move to restrict porn on the internet)

Gen Alpha: So your telling me if I install these image AIs and VR programs, I get to see porn? (Gen Alpha gets really good and working with AI and VR 'interactions')

Early Gen X was TV, late Gen X was definitely early internet.
