A new study by The Harris Poll and Quad reveals that digital fatigue is driving Americans, especially Gen Z, to prefer real-world, tactile experiences over digital ones. Nearly half of Gen Z find social media draining, and many are adopting analog alternatives like paper planners and physical cameras to reduce screen time. Collecting physical items and seeking human-crafted products are popular ways consumers connect with brands, with many willing to pay more for handcrafted goods. Physical stores and print materials remain influential, as consumers desire more human, tangible interactions with brands rather than purely digital engagement.
The study on Americans' preference for simpler tech relationships provides context for consumer trends.
