I love all the shitting Boomers do on younger generations
However Gen Z grew up in a time where the internet is not only mainstream the internet is as pervasive and accessible as running water.
Kids these days get an iPad shoved in their face the minute they start fussing.
Deconnecting like this is actually a pretty deliberate task for them to do.

Those parents are shitty parents. Go play.

It’s also incredibly beneficial. In the height of irony I was listening to a podcast where the host was extolling the benefits of working out/exercising without music or a podcast. Just you and your thoughts.

Shame on their parents.
Here is a news flash for you. Boomers aren't the first generation to shite on younger generations.

I'm GenX, not a Boomer, but I find it baffling how the younger generations keep inventing things that have existed for a long time. I understand the generational need for differentiation and making up your own terminology for things, but this seems to be more than new words. How are these kids so out of the loop that they think they're actually inventing/discovering these things?

My daughter is in her plebe year at the Naval Academy. First thing they do is take away their phones and they don’t get them back for six weeks. After about day two, I pictured 1200 plebes in various stages of withdrawal.

This is my thought as well. Good for them to get away from technology. It’s too much these days. Want to take a week’s vacation with your family? Jokes on you. Better answer those emails buzzing through onto your cellphone. It does not stop.

I am 50+ years old. It is a pretty deliberate task for me to do so as well. I literally bought an Apple watch to be able to leave the phone at home at times, knowing I would at least only be able to grab a call if it were important enough without being tempted to make one.
Not to shite on Gen Z, but we fought something similar with Walkmans being used to check out. We just didn't have the internet to tell everyone about that "struggle" (and others). And that was a good thing in a lot of ways.
