Millennials are old enough to remember analog cameras and photos of people with red eyes. Man, people need to update their definition of which generation is “young.”
Using the most common definition of those born 1981-1996:
Oldest millennials turn 44 this year, youngest turn 29. Next year we’ll officially transition to “30s to mid 40s.”
As far as mental maturity goes I skipped from 15 to 65, which is to say I’ve never truly behaved as a normal adult free of childish and/or eccentric whims.
My oldest nephew was born in 2003 and I was still having to manually remove red eye using Paintshop Pro 7 from my mum’s digital photos of him when was about 6 or 7.
Red eye happens because of the flash. So still happens on digital cameras. It’s just nowadays they automatically detect and correct for it after the shot has taken. Or some cameras can do a pre flash before the flash for the shot fires or a light turns on when you half press the shutter button. That way the pupil will shrink and less light will enter the pupil and not light up the back of the eye.
I hate cameras that do the pre-flash with a burning passion, there’s a period in time where every (flash) photo of me either has me with my eyes closed or visibly straining to keep them open.

The oldest millennials are in their early 40s now but to boomers they will always be teens.

Wow thanks I’m going to go cry now
Don’t leave me high. Don’t leave me dry-igh-igh…
And people acting like “boomers” are now usually Gen-x.
As far as mental maturity goes I skipped from 15 to 65, which is to say I’ve never truly behaved as a normal adult free of childish and/or eccentric whims.
Even the digitals you had in the 00’s didn’t have very good red eye correction (if any at all)
I distinctly remember the first digicams to be worse than analogue in this regard
Red eye correction didn’t come to the default camera app on iPhones until 2013.

“Millenials” just means “people younger than me” now.
And at the same time, “boomer” means anyone over 50, somehow. Soon I will be a boomerlennial.
As a Xennial, this terrifies me, but I’m thankful I’m old enough to dodge the draft when the first round happens.
I hope I never have to utilize the skills GI Joe taught me.
Xoomennial
Hell, even the older Gen-Z grew up with analog cameras, VHS players, paper maps, and no computers.
I’m not sure people realize zoomers are almost 30, and millennials are nearing 50.
im 40. im a millenial.
…im old
<.<
Wait until they find out about GenAlpha
Is bait.
