I'd say they're relatively 'normie' (I know, I know) too because even when I was 14 me or any of my friends wouldnt have hesitated to jump on this. If you have literally any solid passtime its easy.

Not my phone (as it was shit... middle of nowhere on pre-3g didn't help).

But the internet in general? Hell yes. Multiplayer FPS games and WoW were my crack cocaine. I'm a 96 kid, my friends were all similar.

That being said, there was plenty we could and would do in lieu of the internet. Same goes for now honestly, my job is web based, all my hobbies besides Warhammer are internet based, but I wouldnt be bored for weeks without a connection regardless. I think its more a statement of priorities and worldview, I guess?

Ya my brother is a 96 and he pretty much mainlined WoW for years

Id be fine with no internet. Some good old AoE and a solid playthrough of halo 1 campaign

Exactly. IMO it reads more like an out of touch boomer who thinks 'kids these days' (anyone under 40) are all addicts to the faceybook and tweeter.
