A recent report has stated that Gen Z is the first generation to be dumber than the previous. In this video, I argue that early Gen Z is actually incredibly smart and is almost a completely different generation than late Gen Z. As someone born in 2001, I was not raised with an IPAD like so many kids today. I experienced playing outside, reading actual books, writing and taking tests on paper. I experienced the rapid and awkward shift of technology and the internet to get where it is today. People born at the turn of the millennium have a lot of 90s culture in them, especially if they had older siblings like I did, that people do not realize. Lots of late gen z, is now deciding that their own kids will not be "ipad kids" in response to the children they've witnessed the Millennials raise. Some small studies indicate early Gen Z does improve their IQ scores over Millennials, where as late Gen Z does not, and is why I think people born in the timespan from around 1997 to 2004ish are generally the smartest people of our generation, as their minds weren't melted by heavy screen time during key development years.
