Generation Z grows up

AI definition:

Generation Z is generally defined as those born between 1997 and 2012. This means that in 2025 a Gen Z person would be between 13 and 28 years of age.

AI also writes:

Generation Z is considered the most digitally exposed due to their entire lives being shaped by technology. Born between 1997 and 2012, they have grown up with smartphones, social media, and the internet as constant fixtures in their lives. This constant exposure has made them “digital natives,” familiar and comfortable with technology from a young age.

We parents and grandparents to this Generation often anxiously ask ourselves:

Have this Generation been sufficently educated against the posssible risks they are exposed to, either in a Working/Studying from home situation or in social situations… and who should take the responsibility of issuing them with adequate warnings and advice?

Another concern for this generation is the loss of handwriting skills now in evidence amongst them and the loss of social skills previously developed by previous generations.
