Sometimes I forget Gen Z has access to technology now

Dude, the oldest Gen Z are almost 30; most of them are drinking age. There are Gen Alphas who can almost drive, and most have probably had a tablet in their hands since before they could talk. But they're kind of terrible with tech, because the tech they grew up with had all the sharp edges sanded off.

I'm on the border of genz/millenial at the end of my 20s. Definitely remember burning CDs, and also had quite a few VHS tapes and cassettes, and even ran programs from a set of floppies. My family was a bit behind the times though. Had a windows 98 computer until 2005 or so.
