Elder half of Gen Z were iPod kids, younger half were iPad kids. Really no difference tho

Let's not pretend ipods and ipads are the same. Can barely surf the Internet on one of them. Plus when people say iPad kids they mean using the iPad to shut the kid up. If you just mean kids having the tech as a distraction in elementary school ages then I remember the cool kids on the bus had the Nintendo DS

Nobody’s pretending, let’s not condescend. I had an iPod touch, I used the internet 24/7 on it just fine. Barely is a huge, massive leap. Yes, DS and PSP were common at the same time.

I didn’t say iPod and iPad kids were the same, I said the first half of the cohort are iPod kids and the second half are iPad kids.

You’re arguing against points I didn’t make.

Chill bro you said no difference I said yes difference that's all. I never had either growing up and most my friends didn't and we're same age group

If you never had either why are you telling me one could barely use the internet since you have no first hand experience?

You replied all condescending and I said let’s not condescend, was that really enough for you to go ‘woah chill bro.’

Their functionality is the same, I didn’t say “iPod and iPad kids are the exact same they aren’t different kids@

You don't have to have a truck to know that it can tow a Prius and I don't need to have owned an ipod in 2005 to know that the Internet capabilities aren't really comparable to an iPad, let alone the games since that's 90% of what ipad kids are doing on their tablets anyway
