FOR FUN! Can you guess what generation someone is from based on what apps they use?

I always feel like I’m aging myself when I suggest using @PayPal to send money. (“Don’t you have Venmo?” my little brother asked me years ago. I quickly made an account —but honestly, I only use it with him.)


It’s wild how fast things have changed. First, @Venmo and @Zelle took over, and now there’s @Wise , @revolut , and probably dozens of other ways now to send people money instantly.


And it’s not just payments—I also age myself when I talk about using dialup and the old AOL days or when I mention long distance dating and talking to my now-husband on @Skype (pre- @Zoom era, of course).


Meanwhile, my boomer parents are now obsessed with @Facebook … I, on the other hand, haven’t posted since 2014. It’s definitely not the cool place to hangout anymore. 😅


What other apps or platforms have generational stereotypes attached to them? The funnier, the better!
