thinking about how the average age of getting electronics exposure has been getting lower and lower and how it probably contributed to tiktok blowing up as a platform
(a correlation)
#older people dont like it that much#and from small surveys ive taken of my teachers and parents and then grandparent#its how simultatenous the app is how its new things after new things without any time to fully digest the medias#while kids my age and especially gen alpha kids love it for that quick paced riddled with new content each lasting around 1-2 minutes#they grew up with smartphones at the age of 4-8#gen z kids usually have their first electronics at 10-15#the correlation between how late a kid has their first electronic and how much they enjoy tiktok#my peers are in two main catergories: prents gave them thei gizmos when theyre in the teens and those that got the old ipods or tablets#at 7-9 years old#the later group rate tiktok as one of the top three apps they use#the former sticks to televised programmes films and books#idk#ranble#personal#<- reblogs are ok if youd like#tiktok#it just hit me#there are of course anomalies to these simple surveys i conducted such as neurodiversity (me & maybe some peeps but none of us diagnosed#my short attention span is just natural my parents & every grown up that knew me attested to this for me#but surely not every gen alphas are neurodivergent? not in such big numbers if so why? what other causes are there? idk just sayin there is#a correlation#not causation
