Before observing Gen Z, I thought I would see a younger, tech-savvy, cooler version of myself (a millennial). While the group of Generation Z was most definitely tech-savvy they seemed tied to their devices and hardly interacted with the people they came to the game with.

Ageism is discrimination or prejudice based solely on a person’s age, an extreme issue in many elderly clients that reside in sheltered housing communities, as well as quality of life.
