I didnt mean like just now in the 2023. Or last decade.

The 30s were about 3-4 generations ago…

No one from the 30’s is still alive?? I better go check on my grandparents.

I haven’t downvoted you bud…
Generation means something very specific when you’re talking about the last generation of humans, being alive doesn’t make you the same generation as everyone else currently living.

Sorry, i just assumed we were at a point where no one other than the 2 of us would be reading this deep.
Yes that is how generations work. But generations in general is a very loose term. If somone in my grandparents’ generation didnt have kids, they would still be the last generation.
But it really doesnt matter. The point is that humanity has only had this ability in the last 100 years or so
