    Kids often don’t know the difference between “wifi” and the Internet. It’s not an age thing these days.

      Since smartphone became a thing it has always been my theory that millenials, and up to a point GenX, would be the only two generations to be forced into being tech-savy. Boomers and GenZ have been overwhelmingly tablet and phone users. Whoever still logging on a PC nowadays will have a vastly different experience than what it used to be.

      It is a different world really. I am a huge geek and I have been in tech for a long time now, but I still get confused look at family gathering when I tell them I have no idea how to fix someone’s Ipad or what app/settings/touch gesture to do whatever.

      Kids often aren’t explained the difference and if they have been they just don’t understand, wifi IS the internet to them.

      A 51 year old Judge has a vastly different brain and should be able to retain the difference when explained.

        You’d think they’d notice they can use the internet from their phones when there’s no wifi.
