Gen-x here. You know boomers built the Internet, right? It wasn’t us.
Boomers built ARPANET, later called the internet based on Gopher, Kermit, Usenet, and such. Then, HTML came along in 1994. It wasn’t earth shattering, just an easier way to format and navigate. It was this that gen-x took and used to create “the web”.
Although it was boomers that created the transport protocols and text formatting code, it was gen-x that took that relic of the cold war and used it to literally change the world.
