I'm also noticing another trend with my 16yr old daughter and her friends. They are craving old school offline experiences. They have all dragged out the parents and relatives old music collections, cruising second hand shops for old CDs etc. when they visit others houses they are checking out each other's household book and music collections.

She recently got a cheap digital camera with no screen and just a shutter button and and plain old viewfinder. The idea is that like the old days you don't know what you took a photo of until (a bit like getting the film developed) you plug the SD card into a computer and have a look.

I think she'd get a kick out of ripping CDs and ditching Spotify. I can teach her all about files and filesystems then haha.

My 19yr old son doesn't follow the same old school stuff, but he kinda shunned social media from the beginning.
