        It was so bad that the PC software that came with the camera often had a red eye removal feature. I remember being fascinated when I figured out you could use it on things other than eyes and it just took the red out of anything.

          I immediately jumped to magical thinking and every person you took a picture of was robbed of blood.

          Before anyone asks, yes, I’m on the line with RL Stine as we speak.

      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.

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

        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.

          True. It is not a boomer who made that meme. It is either a troll or yet another bitter Gen X.

            : Takes a sip of a juice pouch:

            It is true. A millennial becomes more bitter with age.

            : smacks tongue, eyes roll back as though recalling a childhood memory:

            But millennials have these… : swishes liquid millennial over palate:

            Bracing tannins that challenge you and require further observation.

            : Looking at cup:

            And he pondered, how DID he find himself at some sort of pre-historic blood ritual? Was this not his beautiful wife? Was this not his beautiful car?

        Using the most common definition of those born 1981-1996: Oldest millennials turn 44 this year, youngest turn 29. Next year we’ll official transition to “30s to mid 40s.”

      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.
