About this listen

Gen X spent years celebrating the rise of the smartphone—one device replacing our phone, camera, music player, and everything else in our pockets. But now Gen Z is reversing the trend.

In this episode, Jeff and Jay explore why Gen Z is embracing nostalgia technology, the rise of digital minimalism, and what this shift says about attention, social media fatigue, and our relationship with modern devices.

Why is old technology suddenly cool again—and what can Gen X learn from it?
