'Yesterday the folks over at Vox published an article arguing that
generations should be defined by the technology they use, rather than by
age. They included a graph that purported to show how American society
is "adopting new technology more quickly than ever before." The graph is
garbage. And here's why.'

Questionable journalism. Socio-economic status is far more relevant than
birth year. Classifying people into labelled generations is mainly
useful for marketing.
