" NO! Now you're calling my mom.." The way she looked at REAL phone was also pretty good. Honestly, we need to stop being such lazy people with our words. The word "phone" should of been dumped at least in 2012, for cell phones. They are NO longer a phone, i.e. a device to EXCLUSIVELY make VERBAL phone calls. Smart "phones" have been doing way more than that for almost a decade now, hence, it is not correct o call them phones anymore, just because they ALSO make phone calls. We should say/ask instead " hey can I borrow your Personal Tech Device for a minute.." or " can I see your Smart Media Device "; IDK, SOMETHING other than the word that we've used for over a hundred years to ONLY make PHONE calls!

[@cgimovieman]

This kind of stuff drives me in-SANE on a daily basis. Primarily with the youngest generation, but even with other ages of people sometimes. No one knows how to do anything manually, or understands how to just put down their cell phone for even 5 minutes. Everywhere I go people wander around like zombies with them, relying on them for every little thing. And I’ll be the first to say that I’m a person who upgrades my cell phone almost every single year. But I’d never take it into a restaurant, a theater, etc. Most of the time I leave it in my car when I go into the grocery store as well. There is just no need to have it on you that much, like an I.V. in a hospital. Stop with all of the social media and just go physically visit your friends and, oh I don’t know, actually see them with your own eyes and talk to them face to face!

Or better yet, have the knowledge to know what to do IN an emergency other than just call someone else, until you can find help. Whether it’s administering CPR or a tourniquet, or knowing how to keep someone calm if they’re in shock. Unless you live in the wilds of Alaska, you’re likely always near, if not VERY near a million places to get help. And if you were in a super remote place you likely wouldn’t have cell coverage anyway. You’d need a satellite phone. I’m just tired of everyone being so completely helpless and dependent on technology, and having no basic knowledge other than whipping out their mobile devices to call someone or Google it.

[@limazulu6192]

To be honest cursive is convenient for writing but it is an absolute nuisance to read. Unless someone is there to control the outcome of your cursive style (which no one does) it just gives you too much freedom to write incomprehensively.

[@AvaF1919]

I wonder why they switched to digital clocks in schools and got rid of analog. Seems unnecessary. On another note, I'm 40 and we spent a lot of time in the early years of primary with activities to help us learn to read the analog clock.

I'm a plumber and only dealing with cash and fortunately I can pay with cash literally everywhere, I don't even have a credit card anymore since I left my full time job and it's not a problem, most of the shops prefer cash over credit card because of the transaction fee they have to pay.

[@adhi.kusumo]

@@gsly6081 I guess internet and social media accelerate the change of civilization. Plus, human civilization getting softer, more civilized, so the following gen worries about the proceeding gen more and more. . I'm Gen X and yes, I'm still puzzled by Millenials deep connection to instagram and it's flexing lifestyle. . But The 40's 50's Boomers generation (my mom & dad gen) weren't so hard to my generation though, and My gen looked up to Their generation with sincerly. They went to the moon and great engineering development. . And the great depression generation (my granny gen) were a bit more critical to gen X, but not so much. Boomers looked up to this gen because they came out WW1, WW2 and great depression. They being called "the best gen" . Before that was 1800's plague, feudalism, etc, Before that was punic wars, romans, etc.. Wait, what were we talking about?... I don't know, I'm old, I was born in 19 hundreds 🤪🤪🤪

[@gsly6081]

@@adhi.kusumo Yeah i see what you're saying, but i think some baby boomers, maybe even a big number of them still treated gen x as young people who knew nothing, just like every generation tends to do to the next. At least from what i hear.. But yeah generations exist to mark the differences between people and their lifetime experiences, mostly because of the technological advances, cultural and social / political events like the wars, 9/11 and the pandemics for example. I have a weird experience because i'm what people consider nowadays a gen z'er being born right in the year 2000. But i was like you in the sense that i had baby boomer parents, born in '55 and '61 (what they usually call the microgeneration Jones). Most of my cousins were born from the mid 80s to the mid 90s, being considered solid millenials. So with all that i had a mixed way of growing up. Nothing like gen x (even though i'm into your culture), but a little bit like the millenials. If i was born one year before in '99 i would be considered a "zillenial", but because i was born right at the start of the 00s, i'm in a very weird spot. But maybe in 10 years, us late 90s and early 00s babies will be like the core millenials are considered now. People won't hate on gen z forever, just like they didn''t with millenials.

Honestly, as a Gen Z this is accurate. When I carry a card I don't tend to also carry cash, and vice versa. In a situation like this I wouldn't be able to pay😅

You can type the numbers into the machine worst case scenario, I normally don't carry cash either as a gen z but I think it's better. I have no cash to get stolen and ATMs are everywhere

Always carry some cash, you never know what emergency comes up. Could save you in a pickle.

[@h82fail]

Eh born in 82' millennial and I never carry cash. Not sure what emergency could come up - I carry more then one card so if it doesn't work I have others and if my wallet with my cards was stolen the cash would have been in there too. Once in a blue moon I'll run into some place that is cash only and I'll usually just go somewhere else, or if really necessary I'll go to an ATM. I can't really find a reason to actually carry cash. Also when people beg for money I don't need to lie and can say with a strait face - I don't have anything to give you.

[@baileybrian9560]

we used to have that same "cash register" at my old job and it always went down so i would ring up orders manually as if they were phone orders, and a woman tried to fight me one day because she didn't believe my register needed her zip code and she kept demanding to know how i would personally know if all her information was correct, and i kept telling her it was the computer that verifies information not me lol

So few people realize the value of the redundancy afforded by cash, checks, and paper maps. Also forcing yourself to dial the phone numbers of people important to you, instead of taking a shortcut.

[@michaelsmith953]

I get cash, it's legal tender but nobody out here is still getting scammed by checks are they lmao

[@galamander_1327]

@@michaelsmith953 Scammed by checks? I'm talking about using them to pay mortgage, rent, payroll tax, regular vendors, OR accepting them as payment from people I know and trust. Checks don't have convenience fees for using them, the payment can't get misrouted like it sometimes does with Venmo or Cash app. Unlike cards you don't lose 3-4% of your gross revenue going to merchant service fees. State or Feds don't "accidentally" take out 3 times what they should for payroll taxes. As a bonus, they have stringent legal fraud protection. If a check you wrote falls into the wrong hands, it's relatively easy to get your money back.

My gen z friends are smart, creative, they don’t do random dances, they are digital creators, and I’m 100% sure they can use an old fashioned phone if they need to. I don’t even know anyone else’s phone number by heart and I’m not gen z lol My generation was being laughed at back in the days, saying we were lazy, this and that. Didn’t feel good and they were definitely wrong. I would hate to see another generation being ridiculed. My experience with gen z has been different. It’s been quite positive actually.

I was thinking the same thing about Gen Alpha.

[@anneshirley9560]

I had a gen z girl come in for her eye appointment and didn't know what insurance she had, she just knew that her mom had insurance. Then I tried to help and ask her where her mom worked. She didn't know that either. Then her mon texted back what type of insurance she was under, so I needed her moms birthdate to find her. She didn't know that either. It was very annoying at how little she knew and how much time this was taking because we were on a time limit for her to see the doctor. It seems like gen z only care to know what's trendy and when it's about them. How does one not know their own mothers birthday? Even her older boyfriend was embarrassed.

I'm from Gen Z, and the part where we don't carry cash is honestly true LOL. I use debit and credit cards for every transaction. Literally, the only time I think of using cash in my personal experience is when I need to pay a handyman (like an electrician or plumber), or when I'm buying pumpkins from a farm for Halloween. Other than that, I never see the need to use cash, especially with credit cards (when used responsibly and not like an idiot who thinks it's free money. I genuinely do not understand how some people think credit cards should be used like that) giving cashback and rewards. The only cash in my wallet is cash given to me for special occasions like my birthday or something lol.

[@GT6SuzukaTimeTrials]

I use credit cards like free money because my job doesn't pay enough for me not to. I'm glad you're privileged though.

[@TheLongIslanderYT]

@@GT6SuzukaTimeTrials It’s not about privilege though, because your literally paying more if you accrue interest, and also hurting your credit score if you need to take an actual loan, which is not financially healthy. I do wish your situation becomes better though

[@sexygeek8996]

There still are places that only take cash.

[@TheLongIslanderYT]

@@sexygeek8996 Yes, I realize that which is why I mentioned “my personal experience” in my original comment, because I know other people will have different experiences. Where I live, every place I shop at takes cards, and now some stores I shop at have transitioned to ONLY accept cards. Again, that’s my experience, and everyone can and will most likely have different experiences However, one thing I forgot to mention in my original comment is that I do carry cash whenever I travel somewhere unfamiliar, because it’s always good to have a back up, but my original comment was mainly referring to day-to-day groceries and shopping.
