Have your kids or grandkids ever asked you about life before the internet?
Well, it’s a huge topic of interest for Generation Z, people born after 1996……and Generation Alpha - kids born after 2010, because neither of those generations knows what it’s like!
Boomers, Gen Xers and older Millennials are now the last people to remember what it was like to use a pay phone, a typewriter, or an encyclopedia.
And it fascinates young people! They can’t imagine how we socialized, met romantic partners, got where we were going, found a job, or researched information before the mid-1990s.
So they’re watching “vintage” TV shows like "Friends" and "Seinfeld" to catch a glimpse of what life was like……and watching movies that took place in "pre-internet" times, which now feel like period films!
Social scientists use terms like "digital immigrants" and "the last of the innocents" to describe people who came of age in the era of record players, answering machines and paper maps.
Are you a 'Digital Immigrant? Let me know. I love your stories! JT
