Just realised I was born in the 20th century

People are so obsessed with such things , Where are we headed to??

Today on Saturday I got a call from office grandma ( 20 years in same company) , she started arguing that I didn't sent her the update and showed me her what's app screenshot. I noticed that there is no net sign on top near battery indicator. What the hell, why companies keep such people , they have 0% technology knowledge, can't use decent tools , don't know gmail interface . Why the hell ?

I travel a lot and meet many people while traveling. Foreigners as well as Indians. That's the best part. It helps to learn about foreign culture and also explore my mind while traveling places. But I have 1 thing in common with Indian girls nowadays. Most genz Male have saved in 6 to 8 digits at age 29-30 but most girls don't give a damn...they are really living yolo life and doing international trips, buying useless gadgets, mindless shopping bla bla... Basically, I want to ask- Is it just male responsibility to think about future plans and have enough cash flow to not get in the debt trap of home car etc or should women also think like this? PS - Above statement is for most of women and not all, so dunno take it personally. Comment your views in detail...am all ears!

Please mention your generation- GenZ Millennial GenX I have a hunch there will be patterns emerging here, but let's see how it goes And no - "my life is perfect" "I wouldn't change a thing" interview fake stuff

So I ran these 2 surveys on GV. The one on the left is for millennials and the other one is for GenZ. I really thought that the GenZ narrative was false. Guess I was wrong. This is such a stark difference. What do you think is the reason for this? P.S. I was born in 2000

My overall education started a bit late than normal people due to my fathers transfers and school admission rules. Consequently when I applied for JEE Advanced back in 2017 i was 19.5 years old. I got it but wasnt satisfied so dropped a year and got a better rank. I was 20.5 years old when I finally joined IIT. Somewhere subconciously throughout my college life i felt that I did achieve what I wanted to but really late. I know theres nothing I could do about it but this was something still killing me inside. Most of my batchmates where 18 year olds and even the ones who dropped where at most 19. I always wanted to pursue my masters and phd but somewhere at the back of my mind I feel I would have to go theough the same feelings again. It just kills me so much inside. Currently I have completed 2 years as a software engineer and I am 26 years old. On one part my mind tells me that I am made for much more than just an IT job and should go to academia. On the other hand it feels like I am too old for it. I dont know what to do. I am not able to rationalize my thoughts. I am not able to understand how can I bring myself to overcome my fears and achieve what i really want in life.

Fellow Grapeviners, can you please knock some sense into me? For context, I've got a good-ish job that I think pays me easy money. i started working 5 months ago. lately, I'm feeling worthless and really thinking about quitting my job and do something impactful or crazy or financially irresponsible.
