Cyberbullying is a serious issue for this generation, with around<a href=\"https:\/\/media.market.us\/gen-z-statistics\/\"> 59%<\/a> of Gen Z reporting that they have witnessed someone being bullied online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gen Z and Technology Habits Stats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the first generation to grow up fully online, and it shows. Whether it\u2019s video streaming, online gaming, or using AI tools (like ChatGPT), Gen Z is quick to adopt new tech and adapt to all these changes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They\u2019re comfortable moving between devices, juggling apps, and using digital shortcuts that older generations might still be catching up on.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some important Gen Z stats that reveal how their tech habits are shaping the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>41. In 2022,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/internet\/2022\/08\/10\/teens-social-media-and-technology-2022\/\"> 95%<\/a> of American teens between the ages of 13 and 17 had a smartphone, compared to just 73% in 2015. That\u2019s a sharp 30% increase in only seven years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;core&quot;:\n\t\t\t\t{ &quot;image&quot;:\n\t\t\t\t\t{   &quot;imageLoaded&quot;:

A CAKE.com study found that<a href=\"https:\/\/cake.com\/empowered-team\/gen-z-workforce-statistics\/\"> 39.7%<\/a> feel neutral about it, 25.9% view it positively, and 20.7% hold negative opinions
