From rotary phones to smartphones, mixtapes to TikTok — the tech divide between generations runs deep. In this episode, we dive into how the rise of the internet, social media, and digital life has transformed everything from our worldviews to our attention spans. Ronnie shares what life was like before the internet (spoiler: she survived without Google), while Kaina reflects on what it means to grow up in a world where a “like” can make or break your day.

We explore how tech has shaped generational values, media literacy (or lack thereof), relationships, self-perception, and the all-too-familiar doom scroll. With humor and nuance, we unpack the good, the bad, and the algorithmically ugly. Whether you still write checks or haven't touched a pen in years, this episode will get you thinking about how tech shaped your life — and where it might be taking us next.
