Millennials, or Generation Y, are typically born between 1981 and 1996. This generation is known for being tech-savvy, having grown up during the rise of the internet, personal computers, and mobile phones.
They witnessed the transition from dial-up to high-speed internet and the birth of social media.
However, Millennials also experienced life before the internet. They spent their childhoods outdoors, riding bikes and playing games without documenting every moment. Indoors, they enjoyed activities like making up stories, watching early morning cartoons, and playing with iconic toys and action figures.
Video games were also a big part of their youth.
Chrissy Teigen, a Millennial, has expressed concern about the impact of technology and social media on younger generations.

In an Instagram Story she shared through her account, which was filmed from her bed, she said that:
"I think the government, or some kind of ethics committee — somebody — should shut off social media between 6 p.m and 6 a.m. Leave it all up. Everyone gets to do anything they want, but only between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. Shut it off. Done."
She author went on to reassure her younger fans that there was, in fact, a life before social media.
"I know it’s hard to see it now. But it’s doable. It’s very doable. This doesn’t have to be our lives. And I say this for myself as well because — obviously — I’m on here [social media] right now doing this. But it doesn’t have to define us or be our whole lives."
She suggested that social media services be shut down from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m., saying that life was "awesome" before social media, and that social media doesn't have to define people's lives.
Her comments came after TikTok was temporarily banned in the U.S., and that has become one of the celebrities who voiced their opposition to the TikTok ban, accusing Donald Trump of orchestrating a scheme to position himself as a hero.
Born in 1985, Teigen grew up like other Millennials of her time.
While she is not a tech person, she is considered by many as the "Queen of Social Media" due to her candid, witty, and often hilarious posts, particularly on platforms like Twitter (now X) and Instagram.
She’s also known for her unfiltered humor, bold personality, and ability to engage with fans and trolls alike.
But because she knows how far the internet and social media have changed the society, Teigen is also known for her honest posts about parenting her children with John Legend, said she doesn't want her kids using social media.
