[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's the first generation where they've grown up since being babies with the internet, social media, texting, and communicating digitally 90% of the time.  They're terrified of talking on the phone and doing anything in person if it involves conflict.  They're developmentally challenged in terms of basic human communication without some kind of digital device. They get so uncomfortable doing some as basic as using the phone to order a pizza, or to deal with something like insurance problems over the phone.  Eventually the world will move away from direct human communication. GenZ is just the first generation. Once we all die off, the way gen z can only comminicate will take over. At some point, I think humans will be in capable of directly talking face to face with difficult conversations due to anxiety attacks when a screen isn't there to protect you.[/quote]

I’m GenX and hate ordering pizza in the phone (they have loud restaurants, and poor connections and often don’t speak English natively) and dealing with insurance over the phone is a circle of hell — it should be a few snaps of photos and email is way more effective.

Weird examples.

We are all afraid of conflict because we are under surveillance 24/7 (phone camera in every pocket) so it’s way to easy to be #CANCELLED if you are too strident/abrasive/whatever is considered bad-of-the-moment. [/quote]
