Millennials sure are a mixed-up bunch.

A significant portion of the most tech-savvy generation the world has ever produced, apparently finds the Internet more frightening than older Americans, according to a recent survey commissioned by Rasmussen.

“Perhaps surprisingly, the younger generation is most afraid of the Internet,” the survey report observed.

Around 37 percent of millennials, defined as 18- to 34-year-olds, said they find the Internet “scary,” and 35 percent admitted they “don’t feel safe online.” The millennials represented the largest group who said they don’t feel safe.
