It does almost feel like a failure on our part that the Gen Zers I meet typically see devices as completely solid-state and always online. But it’s almost one step further than that, there was somebody on here a few weeks ago talking about that being able to take your music in with you from the car would have been sci-fi in the 70s and I was like cassettes are portable… It’s almost like the tendency to look at past generations as less capable than your own has also been dialed up to 11 in the current crop of college aged Gen Zers especially. But this has just been my personal experience.
