In this programme, we look at Generation Z - a name that describes the people born in the late nineties or early noughties. Also known as Gen Z, they are seen as the social media generation. We discuss other characteristics of this young generation and learn some new vocabulary along the way.
This week's question:
No one can quite agree on who first used the term 'social media', but we do know from which decade it came. Was it...
a) the 1980s,
b) the 1990s,
c) the noughties, that is the first decade of the 21st Century?
Listen to the programme to find out the answer.
