It's gonna be really funny when all us millenials die and the tech infrastructure evaporates.
What age do we think they'll be set back to? Pre industrial? Bronze?
My prediction seems extreme but don't forget that while books continue to exist, the average adult born after 2000 would rather die than read one.
It won't evaporate, there are plenty of IT folks among youth.
It doesn't make sense to characterize users by age brackets - it's not that millenials are predominantly well-versed.
Me today with a co-worker, discussing Kingdom Come 1. They were impressed with the game's attention to detail but one thing stood out, the save-game potion label/icon "doesn't look quite right"...
Well, it's a floppy disk!
"Huh?"
You're right, my bad, it's Total Commander smh
There's any number of those kinda skeuomorphic icons that don't have a connection to anyone past, say, a 2000 birth date. Save, Phone, Voicemail, even Email and Camera to an extent. They just know them as a pictogram that means that thing
Wasn't Indy knowingly bluffing in this scene?
I introduced my kids to video games (the "good ones" ๐) and they have always had a PC+old consoles, so now they know at least the basics, and mods gta5 and minecraft, etc and are generally at ease with things.
Still prefers mobile apps to photoshop though ๐ you can only bring the horse to the water, you can't make him drink.
Skipped gen z, but I know my gen z folk are barely a step above alpha but and below millennials
I run a Makerspace and teach technology to kids. I don't think they are getting worse, but the difference between the lowest and highest skilled is bigger than ever before.
Those who are interested, learn so fucking fast and so thoroughly, because they have things like YouTube tutorials and Discord chat groups with like-minded nerds to teach themselves. BUT at the same time, it's easier to just remain a consumer, and never gain any deeper knowledge.
I think curiosity and attention are quickly becoming the most important skills by far.
