If you are older than 30 years old, this list may not apply to you. However, for Gen Z, these 12 everyday tasks can be completely mind-boggling. See how many of them you are capable of.
Reading a Physical Map

Why learn how to read a map when your phone tells you where to go? That’s the mindset for many who are considered to be in Generation Z. If they are given a map, they wouldn’t be able to find a destination, and most don’t have a real interest in learning.
Writing in Cursive

Cursive is a thing of the past. Print seems more efficient, and most people don’t even do much writing anymore. Cursive was a true study years ago, and it took years to perfect it; that’s not the way it was for Gen Z.
Making Change- No Calculator

Not only has Gen Z always had a calculator in their pocket, but pretty much everything they pay for is done digitally, making it much easier to manage. Making change is kind of a thing of the past.
Sewing a Button

Sewing buttons on a shirt or a pair of pants is not something that Gen Z learned. The boomers know how to do these types of things and fix and mend clothing, but not Gen Z.
Reading Analog Clocks

Telling time without a digital display is a skill that even Gen Z learned when they were in elementary school. The problem is, this skill wasn’t really needed or used, so it’s gone by the wayside.
Researching Information (Without Google)

Looking up information in books, libraries, and encyclopedias is not something that Gen Z is good at. They have always been able to ask Google or Siri or any other assistant to help them benefit from technology.
Memorizing Phone Numbers

Phones memorize phone numbers for us. Most of us had to know the phone numbers for friends and family and actually dial it every time. That is a thing of the past!
Filling out A Check

Checks are going away. People use digital payment now instead of checks as it’s much more convenient, and it makes the process of paying for things that much easier. The result of this is that many Gen Z don’t know how to even fill out a check.
Creating A Budget (Without an App)

Creating a budget is a great skill whether you are running a household,starting a business, or just trying to get your finances in order. Gen Z can pull this together, but it’s very difficult without the use of an app.
Using Manual Tools

Gen Z has not been all that responsible for basic fixes. Even their parents had people called in to make slight repairs around their home. Using non-power tools to get things done can be foreign.
Public Transportation Schedules

Public transportation schedules can be a little confusing if you aren’t used to them. Let’s remember that millions of people use these every day, and their lives depend on them. Gen Z is not used to having to follow an actual schedule like this.
Finding Entertainment Without Electronics

There is so much to do in this world that does not involve electronics. Sadly, a great deal of Gen Z is unaware of this. Can you find things to do without the use of electronics?
