Gen X isn't the ones with that problem, they grew up with the "internet is dangerous be careful" mindset. It's younger generations, maybe younger Millenials, that have the problem of "it's just the internet, nobody cares" mindset.

But also, it's sad to me that you seem to have a very all or nothing. Childhood should not be online. There are so many studies saying how important physical outdoor time is. Also "chronically online" is still a problem. Most people of any generation are not living an "online entire life" type of lifestyle. Yes, everything is connected and everyone spends some time online, but it's not their life.

Oof, yeah. I think the stranger danger panic that millennials grew up in is a huge problem when it comes to this. I went from spending my childhood being a TV kid to becoming chronically online because my father was paranoid I'd get kidnapped if I stray too far away outside and whatnot, didn't really have lasting childhood friends, etc. Now I see gen z glued to electronics younger than I started going online because it's their only way to socialize. It's not the same as how the 35+ crowd stays in touch with people on Facebook, because they got have lives offline.

Oh no, I'm a gen Xer and the oldest of us (along with the boomers) definitely have a problem not realising that Facebook is real life. Millennials are more likely to have the "embarrassing teen stuff come back to haunt you" problem.

And I agree, it's not all or nothing. Does nobody remember how much time older generations spent in front of the TV? I was only allowed one hour a day and I was very put out about it because everyone talked about various shows at school and I couldn't join in.
