What are some differences between different generations?
Boomers - traditional, conservative, difficult life after the war or in some regimes, not using technology much
Gen X - Spending a lot of time on their own, had to fend for themselves, saw the rise of technology but still limited in its use, spend a lot of time at work
Millenials - hardworking, facing problems like financial crisis or rising prices of living and student loans, still remember childhood without technology but use it well, but generally scared of telephoning (haha)
Gen Z - use technology well, aware of world problems, environment, fighting for their rights, might be considered a bit "lazy" or rude, and have problems with mental health or attention (not everyone, though)
Gen Alpha - born with technology, will be the future, might be way too overwhelmed, which can take a toll on their mental health
