I think it's gonna get worse. Change is a part of every generation but it feels like the rate at which things change is increasing significantly.

There’s plenty of millennials that are completely ignorant about the technology they use, so yes, they definitely will be as bad.

Nah don't think so. I think it's less of a generational thing and more like when a particular technology came about. Like boomers are in my experience generally okay with older more 'analog' tech. Millennials I think are decent all around. Gen z don't know how to use anything outside an app and it's baffles me.

Guess we'll just wait and see.

Damn near guaranteed.

Technology doesn't stop but at a point you get stuck in your ways. Sure you could use Windows Settings App, but you know how to navigate the control panel and the settings app is so damn cluttered. I could potentially live to be 90 something but I'm for sure intimidated by what tech would look like in 50 years.

Probably not as bad, but it is an inevitability I think. Once you get a certain age, major shifts are just more difficult to adjust to. On a smaller scale for example, I don't understand things like Tiktok, Snapchat, etc. I'm a millennial that will be hitting 37 this month, so my adjustment to social media ended with Instagram basically.

Probably not but social media trends have got me fucked.

Yes, at some point there will likely be a change you don’t follow. Then you’re stuck

My grandfather was an electrical engineer. Very comfortable with technology. Built TVs and ham radios for fun, fixed people’s appliances on the side. He helped build the first TV station in Baltimore. After he retired, he built one of the first TV stations in San Salvador. His thing was power electronics and I could never keep up with all the facts, the formulas and math, the circuit architecture that just poured out of him at will. A very impressive guy.

Then as a summer project, he helped my brother build an amplifier so we had great music …… and realized his thing was transistors. So much technical skill, knowledge, interest, that didn’t make the jump from vacuum tubes to transistors.

We’re all thinking computers, since that’s what we do, but technology is so much more. Think of car guys. Huge, impressive, emotional technology that changed the world. But a lot of them got left behind with ignition electronics, more efficient engine design, exotic alloys. Think how many will be left behind as we transition to EVs. We’re no different

To all you guys bragging about which Linux you use, let me tell you about my lord and savior: cloud computing. Will that be the jump you can’t make?

Gen Z is already worse with the tech that they grew up with because it is so simple and "just works" without them having to learn even simple things like file structures or how to type. So, I guess, no, you're looking at the wrong generation. Millennials grew up having to learn new tech as it developed, so adaptation is a skill among our generation.

Careful about generalizations. I've been using computer technology since 1975.... #COBOL 👨‍🦳
