Yeah, I've heard that "last normal generation" stuff said a lot too.

It pains me to see my younger family members getting caught up in all of this, while most of the world's Governments seem hellbent on looking the other way - or worse using it as an excuse to give themselves extra surveillance powers (cough age verification cough) while doing nothing much to solve the main issue

The smartphones only came later in our lives rather than thrust upon us when we were babies.

That thing ever changed everything, it's a literal double-edged sword. No longer having separate devices for specific needs, but instead people started becoming dependent on it, to the point that nearly every other form of entertainment became neglected, and even certain human aspects such as the ability to write by hand (there goes the postal service) or reading an actual book (there goes the local bookstore or public library). Now nearly everyone is on social media, and in some countries Facebook has become its own Internet.

If we the "the last normal generation"

Doesn't that then make us Abby Normal?
