I was born in the 80's and started using email around age 5, but go off. By the time Gen Z was old enough to use the internet, it was already mostly over.

@sidereal@kolektiva.social The blank statement is definitely wrong, agreed. What I may instead say is the Gen Z may be the first generation where the internet is utterly inescapable. I grew up in the sticks, and eventually we got dail-up but that was just ... a thing with chatrooms, emails, and a few forums. It was something that was easy to walk away from.
These days... It's required. The administrative apparatus has bought all in. All toys and tech have it. The appliances, the TV, the schools, everything. -
GenZ is the first generation to grow up with modern, centralized, large social media. The earliest GenZ kid was 7 when Facebook launched. The forums, chat rooms, BBSes, and discussion groups of the 80s and 90s were such wildly different beasts. Meanwhile, the internet of today isn’t radically different than it was after Facebook became popular.
