Gen-Nin?

Gen-Nin is an abbreviation for Generation: Nintendo, a term I feel describes those of us who fall between the X & Y generations. Although we are officially part of Generation: X, I feel we identify more with Generation Y. However, while those of Generation Y grow up in the age of technology, we Gen-Nins grew up with the age a technology. We remember when PC monitor choices were between green or orange and the mighty roar (screeeeeechbeepbeepscreech) of Prodigy. We remember the "Bag Phone" and Laser Disc. We remember when Apple made computers and wore a coat of many colors. We also remember and appreciate the evolution of each of these experiences that have made this a world where we view instant information through our flat panel monitors while talking to our friend on blue tooth enabled camera phone (except with Nextel) about the intricacies of Dolby Digital-EX and DTS-ES and sifting through the 10,000 song we keep in our pockets. It all started for us Gen-Nins with the 8-bit wonder known as the Nintendo Entertainment System, the first step in the console gaming arena that proved that technology does evolve.
