Nobody has any idea how old this poster is, it could be an old ass boomer as easily as it could be a zoomer and we're just going on making statements about the technical abilities of new generations without any actual evidence other than a single person that can't do something for themselves? There are many, many people from my graduating class who would be as helpless as this person and I'm fucking 30.
The same thing happened in the previous generation too. Some boomer would start raging about how these millennials don’t know how to fix cars or install toilets or whatever anymore based on one cherry picked example and the other 95% of boomers that have been paying a mechanic or a plumber this whole time and don’t know how to do shit would just nod along.
Yes, but knowing how to install a toilet the difficult way (instead of hiring a plumber) was replaced by knowing how to install a program the difficult way (via a command line instead of an installer).
Now, Zoomers aren't stupid or tech illiterate, I have a Zoomer friend and she's more tech literate than I am. The issue is that installing a program the hard way has been replaced with minimizing your carbon and digital footprints. That's not the skill of a super predator, its the skill of prey. We've been reduced to prey for the shareholders of corporations.
