    They’ve plagued the lives of Millennials, too, just more directly. Even old Millennials were still children when Google was first created.

    Gen Z is what you get when people grow up with the ubiquity of the internet and a bleak outlook. It’s a recipe for people who know how to mobilize, and I’m here for it.

      I can’t believe I didn’t mention how important the internet and 21st century technology is to Gen Z. While it certainly has its harms, it’s been vital for the spread of information, and we kind of just grew up using it daily like most, but since almost birth.

      Just to epitomize that, I learned the windows shortcuts (control c, control v, etc) before I learned how to tie my shoes or ride a bike and I had classes that taught Java coding in junior high.

      Only Gen Z that’s hyper involved in certain forms of politics(and you’d find people of any generation are pessimistic when they’re involved in those same forms) like most Gen Z on here. I’m Gen Z, and of course so are most of my friends- we’re pretty optimistic. But, I guess, generalizations based on generation have always been pretty meaningless.
