  4. That would make her at the tail end of Gen Z, being a bit young (apparently) for Gen Alpha. We had some Gen Z interns @ work just before I left. I was *very* impressed by both of them. VERY smart, VERY keen... Nice people too.... The myths were definitely exploded by that pair....

    1. Yep. Gen Z is going to save the world. And I have high hopes for Gen Alpha (Eleanor’s) also. You get it.
