Older Generations Share the Things Gen-Z Will Never Understand

It's hard to wrap your mind around how much things have changed over the past few decades. Technology is developing at exponential rates, and the new normal is constantly shifting. For those of a certain age, remembering the time before the iPhone is an impossible task. Let alone email, which rules many of our working hours. Our world 50 years ago is almost unrecognizable, and 100 years ago feels like a different planet. Sure, we have movies, literature, and first-hand accounts of what it was like in the days of yore, but if you didn't live through it, you will never truly know.

Even the recent past is quickly fading away, as a recent Reddit thread explored. Millennials and Gen-Xers grew up in a very different world than Gen-Z, not to mention Gen Alpha. From the obvious to the forgotten, read up on all the things kids these days miss out on.
