Gen Z falls for online scams more than their boomer grandparents do. The generation that grew up with the internet isn’t invulnerable to becoming the victim of online hackers and scammers. (www.vox.com)

There is a split in gen Z: The ones who didnt use a computer growing up and those that did have one (and also the time to mess around with it). But I feel like you cant group them together.

When I spoke to my younger half-brother a few years back I was stunned to find out he only had an Xbox and phone. No PC. I think he's doing well academically but how the fuck he lived without a proper PC I'll never know.

I think my dad and his mum refused to get him one to protect him cos they didn't let him play GTAV either. It was too violent.

I shudder to think WTF he'll do when AI comes along.

That'll be a very pronounced split in Millenials and Gen X as well.
