As a general rule, generation Z is usually different. In many cases, experts often insist on some behaviors and customs at least peculiar, either when facing the work world, or even at the time of looking at characters like Steve Jobs for their day to day. Without going any further, it has been said that young people are even forgetting to write by hand.
It is quite obvious that the weight of new technologies has a great impact on who, due to their age, have practically born with a mobile phone or social networks under the arm. Nevertheless, There is an internet -related practice in which those who are part of the Z generation seem to have it clearer than the restand even be an example to follow.
The good custom on the Internet of generation Z
Due to Google and artificial intelligence, it is increasingly common for many people to seek medical diagnoses on the Internet. A practice that sometimes can be anything but favorable. In the best case, because it can cause mistakes in the diagnoses, but sometimes, cases of what is known as digital hypochondría.
Also called cybercondría, this pathology is easy to understand: As soon as you have any symptoms, there are those who go to the Internet to be informed. The problem? That many times can be interpreted as serious diseases problems that, in reality, are not at all. Something that ends by increasing both the concern and anxiety.
Well, as a new study has shown in this regard, generation Z is the least affected by this phenomenon. Attending to what the survey conducted says, Only 8% of young people acknowledge having searched in Google or artificial intelligence tools such as Chatgpt Medic Diagnostics. Everyone else has never tried anything similar.
It is just the opposite of what seems to happen with people thirty years and older, which is much more affected by cybercondy. The first explanation can be obvious: young people usually have better health than anyone. With age, however, diseases are usually arising, or at least ailments. But is it the only explanation about it?
The problem of internet misinformation
Another of the reasons why generation Z does not resort to the Internet too much to consult diseases may be related to its best knowledge of the network. Or, at least, with Be quite clear that there is currently a great misinformation in the digital world, which makes it difficult to discern between what is true and what does not. Also in the medical field.
Experts, of course, give the reason to the kids in this regard. Looking for medical solutions on the Internet can not only lead to dangerous errors, but what is almost worse: ending up becoming hypochondriac. More information, even in cases where it is not contaminated, is not always good.
