As technology continues to protrude uncomfortably into more of our lives, some younger folks are pretty much over it. It's not just generative artificial intelligence, which Gen Z is slowly souring on, but current technology as a whole. The younger generation isn't ditching tech entirely, but they're rolling things back to the late 2000s. Yes, while those who lived through that period will primarily remember the horrors of the financial crisis, it seems today's youths have decided we were also living through the era of peak gadgets. Case in point? The iPod is making a comeback.
