The Worst Adults are no strangers to technology. They were raised in the transitionary period between analog and digital, and they have feelings about it. This week they discuss their generation's unique position, pit early adoption against waiting for second generation tech, put digital celebs on carousels, add Starbucks to a beloved Ghibli property, discuss a certain obscene golden disc that is currently hurtling through space, and tell you how to raise your kids!
