If the distinction is in the technology of entertainment, then the difference is superficial. I do not see a difference between growing up with black-and-white television and growing up with color television. If it is the difference between having programmed a PC and typically having computers that one could never program, then that is a huge difference. The more technologically-advanced Boomers often did programming in Fortran or Basic to do calculations and set up analyses of data. Programming one's own computer? That is so Boom... or early-wave X.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
