Alpha or Beta?
Twelve statements and a guess at which cohort the child belongs to, using the first device rather than the birth year to decide.
The first device separates the two cohorts more cleanly than the birth year does: a tablet reads as Generation Alpha and a voice assistant as Generation Beta.
