Yeah, expected bullshit cuz Forbes, but the psychologist actually knows what they're talking about about.
Doesn't outright say it, but the "problems" are all outdated shit boomers insist on keeping around because it's what they're used to.
Like, "face to face communication" not only isn't important now, it hasn't been for a long fucking time.
Even when you need to talk to someone one on one to figure something out. IM gives you a record of what was discussed to refer to
If I've got 20 things going on and someone wants a face to face or even a call, I'm very unlikely to remember the details a day later. IMs or emails, I can go back and get all the discussed info in like 2 minutes.
We're asking these kids to do shit that was outdated before they were born because the people in charge are at best in their late 60s and still are scared of computers.
They're just pissed life passed them by and the skills they have are outdated.
I love the ability to keep a perfect history of my communication, which IM/slack/email gives you, but if you have a complex issue to solve that requires the input of multiple people, face to face conversation can get to the bottom of the issue many times faster than back and forth messing. Not only can you speak quicker than you can type, but you can convey additional information in tone of voice and facial expression.
And I hate to praise AI for anything, but it's not half bad at given you a written summary of what was talked about.
I say all this as someone who really doesn't enjoy talking to people face to face, and would much rather just send messages.
I'm not exactly "young" anymore but I can type on a keyboard waaaaay quicker than I can speak.
But the article is specifically talking about "face to face". Getting a couple people to jump on a Teams call to sort something out isn't something impossible for Gen Z.
They just don't like the "face to face" bullshit that comes with working in an office.
I'll take a team meeting online on a call over having to do it in person, everyone show up early, and all the distractions that come with an in person meeting. It just wasted time for "socializing" with people you don't want to socialize with. Co-workers don't need to be friends, and definitely aren't family.
Gen X and Y are the same, it's just Gen Z is the first to be overwhelming raised by those two generations.
X/Y can put up with it because we grew up with people like that.
For Gen Z it's literally like having to put up with their grandparents bullshit, something they only had to tolerate infrequently, and recent graduates just went thru years of distant learning.
So they know all the "face to face" shit is extreneous
Most english conversations are conducted at 110-150 words per minute, unless you're a 1% level typist (or have a speech issue) you can definitely talk quicker than you type.
This is true, but on the other hand, no one can really interrupt you typing, and reading is faster than listening, so depending on the group it may still be more efficient.
