The internet has been a thing for a long time. This is hardly an exclusive thing only for zoomers. Hell, internet stock trading had been a thing since before zoomers even existed… it’s been around for almost 30 years and the oldest zoomers are 24 or 25.
Yes but phone apps that make it easy to open a trading account are relatively new.

That’s true, although calling in your order instead wasn’t much trouble. However opening a brokerage account was much more difficult. You had to call the brokerage to have them mail the forms to you, fill out the several page form, and then take the forms to the local brokerage office, if you were lucky enough to have a local brokerage office. Sometimes you also had to have the forms notorized.
