Here in Sweden I'm experiencing this with both older and younger generations. I know no one my age that has a kid, but so many younger generations have at least one. My little sister has two, and most of her friends do too. It's weird.

I suppose that makes sense. Support has gotten much stronger, in the last decade or two, for using multiple monitors.
that's wild. i wonder why the younger gen had that shift. how does that difference affect you? do you have kids? where do you feel left out?

I took on a second, what have I done.
At 35 I got my third!
...27" curved screen with 144Hz and HDR...
I had 3 by 23 😁
Still have only 2 kids though
just bought a third yesterday...
Lucky you! What model?
Nothing fancy, some generic 2560x1440 Acer IPS
I have a 4k OLED w/ HDR for gaming or whatever my main activity is, a second 2560x1440 for background videos, but I want a vertical monitor for terminal outputs and documents. Also just more space when I'm juggling a lot of windows
This would seem more accurate to me if it said "Grandparents at 25". I'm the 25yo parent's age and for us, people were already considering whether they could afford 1 or 2 children with mortgage and childcare costs. I guess if we had the big screen TVs, cellphones stronger than computers, gaming computers, and cheap airfare around the world, many of us would have also decided parenting was much too expensive.
Ahh the PG32UCDM! This is best panel I have ever seen, I love mine but the only downside is when it's off the coil whine is crazy loud, almost louder than my system.

Not sure if he's thinking about a second monitor or a second smoke.
Why not both? I haven't seen that taco girl meme in a decade or so.
Everyone here talking about second somethings. All I want to say is this is the baby with the most developed jaw, nose and brow that I've ever seen in my life.
Things really were different during our parents' times.
Born a Chad like his dad, grew up into a Wojak like his mom.
Anyone here ever used curved monitors? I'm seeing them come down in price and wonder if it's cool enough to get
Unless they are huge and ultra-wide, I don't see the point. They don't add anything at small sizes except a certain aesthetic. At large sizes, it's a quality of life improvement as things on the edges are closer than with flat screens. They were more expensive when I looked for them, so test it for the 14-30 day return period and see if you actually like it.

I already have 2 monitors (including my laptop screen because I'm primarily on laptop) but recently I tried using Google Earth on a desktop with a fast i7-13700 and a 1440p monitor and it was so immersive. If each pixel was 100m, I could see 256km, all with minimal hiccups.
It reminded me I want a big 4k Monitor for this stuff, maybe even of TV size.
