When did Millennials get Boomer Brain anyway? If you took Boomers at their word thirty years ago, nobody under the age of 70 would know how to fix a car today .
Now these "Young people don't understand technology" memes are spreading like a nasty STD. Just endless posts of the most heinous ignorant horseshit.
Meanwhile, I've got kids flying homemade drones down at the park. I've got to fight through gaggles of teenagers on the way to robotics competitions and hack a thons when I'm downtown for lunch. My local Microprose is stuffed full of people under 30. All the active Linux geeks are practically in diapers, while millennials cling to Microsoft and fucking Apple.
But nobody is using the shitty VR that Zuckerberg is shilling, so Zoomers can't code? FFS, it's GenX that's forcing AI down all our throats.
Don't give me that "young people can't use computers" shit.
I work with college students all day. They are computer illiterate. It’s like working with the old. Generalizations are sometimes kinda true.
Cool, I ALSO work with college age kids all day and they navigate/troubleshoot our software fine.
I guess our two completely useless anecdotes will now cancel out into irrelevance.
Navigating software is a hell of a lot different from troubleshooting, as OP/ The image was saying.
No rat in this race just pointing it out. (But everyone i know who's my age couldn't tell you shit about computers, why they work, how they work, and how to fix even the simplest of problems)
