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.
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.
You had to select the eyes. The software I remember had a little square box that popped up, and you moved it over the eyes and clicked to remove the red eye.
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.

And people acting like “boomers” are now usually Gen-x.
True. It is not a boomer who made that meme. It is either a troll or yet another bitter Gen X.

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

Did it do some form of automatic eye detection or did you have to manually select the eyes?

“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.

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.
