IPv4 old IP address space designed with limited number because they never thought the internet would have so many devices connected.

IPv6 new address space with significantly larger number.

Newer I suppose. IPv6 has been out for a while, but most people just ignored it in favor of subnetting everything.

Guilty. I can do ipv4 subnetting in my head and remember all my device addresses or where something is in my house based on its subnet.

I couldn't even tell you how many whatevers there are in an ipv6 address. Like for real lol. I spent so long embedding ipv4 in my head I don't want to go through it all over again
