I've been thinking so much about this.
You know, it's really interesting because one of the biggest game changers, as you mentioned, for millennials was the internet.
It actually allowed millennials to, in many ways, in my opinion, leapfrog Gen X, right?
And in fact, I've talked to a lot of people who said, you know, it's so crazy.
I went to school to learn photography.
And while I was in school studying film photography, everything changed to digital.
And I felt like I was leaving school with a skill set that wasn't relevant anymore.
And that was really frustrating for me, and I had to learn something totally new.
And I think millennials in the workplace, and certainly even in the home dynamic, young people became the folks who knew how to hook up the Wi-Fi router.
and could figure out how to help their parents log into the school email to know what was going on.
And so I think millennials, through their use of the internet, were really able to just accelerate their growth and development as a generation.
And I think it reinforces the optimism that millennials still have, which is that they really believe in the power of these technological tools.
And I think millennials are generally the parents of Gen Alpha.
And so I actually think millennial parents and certainly the parents I talk to want young people to adopt AI tools, want to see how easy it is for them to build things and express themselves and create.
And that, to me, makes me so optimistic about Gen Alpha because I think if they can grow up adopting these tools, use them to build things, to create businesses, to try new things, to learn way faster and in a personalized way, I think it'll be really, really meaningful and impactful.
And, I mean, there's probably no โ
no better technology to accelerate learning than AI.
And I think it's arriving at such an interesting and critical time for Gen Alpha when they're in that phase of just extraordinary learning and growth.
Learning about inflation.
For me, it was less about the internet and more about all the graphic design tools.
