    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.

        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.

      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.
