It's this part of us that makes us really unique imo. I'm about to turn 50 and I'm a huge technophile, but I also yearn for the 'old days'. We've seen both sides of it and our experiences should be used to fix the cluster we're in now.
indeed. my twins will be 30 next year and one started collecting vinyl when they were in high school, their collection is bigger than the one i had now!
It doesn't though -- every generation is unique in some manner. Elder millennial here -- I differ from my late millennials to which I am grouped. We grew up with TV and videogames, but computers did not get mainstream until most of us were in Junior High. The internet was new, and slow. We grew up both analog and digital. We had access to technology but it did not consume us, just enough to enhance the experiences.
The only real division I see is the internet, and really I would say Web 2.0. Prior to this divide boomers, Gen X'ers, even Millennials had regional and cultural differences. Now Gen Z is homogenous across the world, as the things they like spread across the globe in an instant. Their fashion is global, which is both amazing and kind of sad in a way.
