The question is,will you be able to restrict YOUR kids?

Probably not younger generations are usually smarter than the older one.

I dunno... A lot of the newer gens didn't have to tinker with everything to get it to work so they're less familiar with the ins and outs of stuff. Not to say they all are because it's silly to generalize that many people but many of them grew up with this stuff. Just like how I couldn't tell you how a TV works or fix one but I've built all my own pcs. That happened naturally because I had to learn it early on to have a computer. That being said they definitely seem to be developing a unique skill set for navigating the internet and social media as a whole. I've noticed they're a lot less likely to trust a generic Google search or various articles online. I guess when you're raised around bullshit you're gonna end up more critical of it. This is mostly about gen z of course and maybe younger millennials. Gen alpha is feral and weird we should all be worried lmao

This is very true. We had to fix all the shit happens to our systems and stuff. But now, they have perfected by implementing this restrictive environments like mac os, chrome os, and stuff like this (windows is trying to implement same thing these days too). So, their devices don't break. They don't have to learn how to fix that.

Nowadays kids don't even understand basic file structure, lmao.
