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.::undefined

    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.
