    Younger folks in there late 20s older ones early 40s?

    Meaning that the older half of the generation didn’t have internet access at all hours of the day during their childhood since home computers were a rarity until the mid nineties and those were generally shared with the whole family. Vs. Personal devices with internet access (first smartphones, Gen 1 Ipods, cheaper and more common home computers) which Gen Z children en mass have had since the early 2000s, which is when the oldest Gen Z’ers were 5-6.

    There is Grey area in the few years where the generations changed and it’s basically indistinguishable but don’t even try to make the argument that someone born in 1986 had the same childhood as someone born in 2000

      Fine. Whatever. Let’s just say 90s kids then.

      Point still stands. Gen z is not the first generation to grow up with computers.
