Does this control for the fact that Gen Z are simply online a lot more than Boomers?
I can’t tell what these are percentages of. 16% of scammed people were GenZ? 16% of GenZ have experienced a scam? Because both of those would be skewed if, for example, 100% of GenZ use the internet daily and 20% of Boomers have never used it.
Once again, a journalist doesn’t know how to present statistics in a meaningful way. They do this 72%!
I think it has more to do with age and experience than generational labels. Kis who "were just born yesterday" or "are still wet behind the ears" have always been, and always will be gullible. Everyone needs to be fooled a few times before they "wise up". We need to stop all generational finger pointing and bigotry.
Amen. I remember in high school and my early 20, I was gullible af.
It’s an age issue. Not a generational one.
