My hypothesis is that the lack of cell phones, turned everyone born before 1985 into planners.

You had to make plans to meet people after school or you may or may not be able to find them.

You had to plan everything ahead of time because once you left the house, your access to information was drastically reduced.

All those children who grew up with instant access to phones and now, smart phones, with instant access to everything, have different brains. Why plan lunch when you can get a craving, open your phone and have Uber eats bring it to your door in 20 minutes?

Why think ahead, plan, organize and prioritize when information is immediately available? Their brains don’t work the same. The fact that they are now required to do things at certain times requires planning. This is something they didn’t need so it’s a foreign behavior.
