X'ers see the world as negative and not user-friendly. It is a generation that longs for simplicity as they feel overloaded with information. X'ers are the computer generation. They are plugged in and on time. They love noise.
TV is the surrogate parent.
By the time the average X'er reaches sixteen, they have witnessed 33000 murders on TV and in movies. The result is fear.
