Sounds like you're older though. Social media wasn't nearly as ubiquitous a decade ago as it is now.

There was separation between online and everything else. But for these kids, online is everything. The spaces are nearly equal in experience and importance.

Yeah I suppose so, but all I mean is, kids are pretty good at finding ways to entertain themselves

I grew up when social media was already ubiquitous, in the 2010s. Still mostly video games, walks and studying.
