Sounds familiar. Our kids (9 and 7) asked us at dinner the other night what "over the air" meant and what "radio" was. All they know is streaming.
WiFi and Cellular are also OTA .. just you can make your own bubble and to interact with the uplink bubble .. I mean you can do it with Broadcast radio too but they get mad ..
Not surprising. I'm 36 and it feels strange when someone talks about "radio", "over the air", "cable tv" and similar old technologies. It's only been like 10 years since those still existed but it already feels like ancient past.
Can't speak about everywhere in the world, but broadcast media is pretty much dead. Radio still exists because of cars, but even that is moving towards streaming.
I sincerely hope that the people can reclaim the airwaves and a new fediverse-like ecosystem springs up for over-the-air broadcasts.
I'll have to dig out the TV antenna and show her what it can pull in. Not really good or bad, just one I wouldn't have predicted.
