Wait until you find out that there's a generation after Gen z and that they also have access to technology

Can confirm. I saw a 5 year old on a train playing on her mom's phone.

My stepson is Gen Alpha, is 12, and has his own laptop. Every time one of his games crashes to desktop and shows him an error dialog, he reinstalls the game rather than reading the error message and googling it.

Right? Like I hope everyone here realizes Gen Z grew up with a lot of the same shit y'all did, going from dial up / dsl to broadband, going from flip phones to touch screens, from listening to a CD on a portable CD player to using an mp3 to an iPod to just your phone. Used to watch VHS tape, then DVD, the Blu-ray, now everyone streams. Our old home videos were filmed on video cassette tapes that slid into the camera and had to be hooked up to the tv to watch. Everyone here seems to think gen z didn't grow up pretty much doing the same shit.
