The widening generational divide in Apple computer usage

If Apple hasn’t earned Boomers’ attention, despite decades of marketing and use among a strong if small core, then Apple can claim a generational victory at least among Gen Z. Over the last five years, Generation Z adults have had the highest penetration rate for Apple’s computers among every country surveyed. Furthermore, Apple’s Gen Z share has grown among Americans, Japanese, Chinese, and especially strongly among Germans. To be fair, Apple has seen gains among some other generations and countries, although these are modest compared to Gen Z’s acceptance rates.

Renewed attention on AI (Artificial Intelligence) includes substantial promises to enhance the creative output of everyday users, something millions of people are already doing. Decades before widespread AI capabilities were incorporated into apps or hardware or even touted as feature enhancements, creative activities have been a regular part of many computer users’ lives and careers. The earliest adopters of any AI technology – and those that will continue to use and value the services – will be the already active creators. Non-creatives will show some initial curiosity, followed by disengagement. The extent of AI use by non-creatives will be is as a free or bundled enhancement service.

This MetaFAQs reports on the percentage of online adults who regularly create graphics or presentations or use professional creative software. Each activity is further split by personal versus work-related use and age generation. The research results are based on 12,003 US, German, UK, and Japanese respondents.

Renters continue to outnumber homeowners in some countries

Many smart home technology devices rely on people to change their living space to accommodate the tech. However, many landlords restrict the changes renters can make to their dwellings, making it difficult for renters to adopt new technology. Meanwhile, other landlords take a more embracing view of innovation, incorporating smart home technology devices into their rental properties to build value and increase security or efficiency.
