Read the article, just a bunch of morons who have zero self control.
Isaacs specifically pointed to the 1990s as a time with “a lack of phones, more personal experience, but also still some of the ease of modern technology.”
Just this alone shows they have no idea what the 90s were like.
“Waaah my phone does too much, I just want an iPod!”
Delete social media, download Spotify and boom, your phone is an iPod again. Or turn off all notifications on your phone and buy one of those iPod clones.
“Gen Z” acting like the world was better before social media but they have no idea how to function without social media. If they went in the theoretical time machine back to the 90s they’d have a mental breakdown trying to find their way to the local McDonald’s.
I really don’t get it either. Like it’s some impossible task to just stop using certain apps or some shit.
I don’t use social media(except Lemmy, I guess, if you count that(I don’t)). The only notifications I get on my phone are from texts. I haven’t touched Tiktok since 2019. I don’t scroll YouTube shorts 24/7.
Everyone’s acting like this is some drug or addiction. And maybe it is to some, but again it goes right back to self control.
