2010s: Better experienced as a child, teen or an adult?

It's hard to say, because I'll never be an adult in the 2010's, and I was only in my childhood during the early part of this decade. I actually think the 2010's is one of the best decades to experience your teenage years. You have social media to stay in touch, and you also have smartphones to take pictures and capture the moments. Since most smartphones have Internet, you can also look up a lot of information anywhere and figure out and learn a lot more at a younger age.

The only real downside is that the 2010's has too many school shootings, so I'd think the 2010's is probably best experienced as an adult, but idk.

Probably an adult, since the technology of this era is quite useful for business, but mostly toxic for insecure teenagers.

I suppose the 2010s may be particularly good for kids, however, since there's such a wide variety of games, toys, movies, etc. available at their disposal, not to mention it's more accessible than ever.

The March for Our Lives movement earlier this year was architected by Generation Z and it may have been one of the largest liberal movements of this decade.

Graduating during the recession sounds pretty horrible though

Sort of. I actually liked 2010 and 2011 at the time, because I thought music was generally heading in a positive direction (especially with the breakthrough of indie-pop and Adele) and both years seemed quite promising. My dislike for the 2010s only began to develop back in 2012, the year I turned 13 and started High School. While I will admit that my personal life wasn't particularly great at the time, putting that aside, I thought the pop-culture of the time regressed in terms of overall quality. 

Seems like a fun time to be a kid. There are a lot of cool toys out now, like a crazy variety of Lego sets and Barbies coming in all different shapes and sizes. I would have loved all the mermaid clothes, YT tutorials and the TV now apps myself.

Considering I started my teens in the 00's and finished them out in the 10's, the latter was superior imo. If for no other reason, taking pics on my phone of the board/textbooks so I wouldn't have to bring them home lmao. But really I found social media to be a blast in high school.

As a technical adult now though sm has lost its luster, it seems to push people further into creating a "fake" life and trying to hide their misery. And that cookie cutter crap is so boring it's not even worth reading. At least teenagers posting their melancholia are being honest.

I suppose yes the technology is helpful for adults as well, though it can also feel like more is expected of people all the time. One big plus would be expanded friendship and dating opportunities.
