As a Millennial, I like to think that I'm pretty tech savvy. Thanks to an adolescence spent hogging my family's phone line for late night chatroom sessions, some basic programming courses, and more than a few rounds of upgrading my PC myself, I'm probably ahead of most of my peers.
I did all that stuff out of a fascination with emerging technologies and a complete lack of worry in terms of breaking something. Eventually, my parents learned not to scold me for disassembling our boxy computer, because it would probably work better afterwards anyway.
