I am the oldest of Gen Z having been born in the late 90s. I got the tail end of what the world was like pre-smartphone and gotta say it was better…

Gen Xer born in 1967 checking in. Totally agree the world pre-smartphone was better. People just seemed to be more aware of their surroundings and each other. I don't blame Gen Z for getting dumb phones and, like, actually engaging with each other. We abuse our tech, and big tech abuses us.

I'm a mid-millennial, born in the late 80's. I've seen all of the 90's. If I was going into temporal witness protection, going back in time to keep me safe from the mob I ratted out...would I want to live in 1995? 2005 is an easier sell. I graduated high school that year, and a LOT changed in those ten years. Would I want to go back to 1995?
