Anybody else raised way more by the internet than their own parents?

I'm a millennial with boomer parents, who are famous for their hands-off parenting approach. Just wondering.

Geriatric Millennial reporting in: nope. My boomer parents are great, and had a fantastic mixture of hands off free roaming and hands on helping. The internet didn't really factor in until my late teens.

Same boat. I didn't really have good internet until I was in my teens anyway, living the 14.4kbps and 28.8kbps split between 3 brothers life.
