I hate this generation thinking. I am an early gen z. I (and a lot of my peers in a similar age range) have very little in common with people born at a time where touch screens were already the norm, yet we’re considered the same generation and are lumped in together because someone drew a random line.

My sister (almost 10 years younger than me) has never known a world without everyone having smartphones. I remember a time when we didn’t even have internet yet. Yet, apparently, according to the numbers, we’re the same in our relationship to technology and our approach to life.
