    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.”

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

        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.

      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.

      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.
