It used to be common for uh, writers, journalists, to have at least basic familiarity with what they're writing or reporting on.

Its not like this is journalistic malpractice, spreading lies, fabricating a quote, supporting a bs narrative by being very selective with context and such...

... but it is pretty embarrassing.

People seem to constantly confuse 'i use computer technology' with 'i understand how computer technology works'.

Like uh, Gen Z and A are the most digital, online generations yet... but many of them can't type on a keyboard, have no idea what a file/folder structure is.
