If you were born in the mid to late 1990s through around 2010, you are in the Gen Z generation, and YouTube is likely your favorite teacher. A 2018 survey by Pearson found that 59 percent of Gen Z-ers and 55 percent of millennials (born in the early 1980s to mid 1990s) have a clear preference for video over in-person learning, apps, games, or even books, giving video a clear advantage in the age groups making up most of the modern workforce today.
