Zoomers
>Grew up with technology/operating systems that are blackboxed to shit
>Don't understand how a computer works because they only interface with a computer on their shitty smartphones
>Don't understand how a car works
>Born too late to understand that the Internet is larger than just Google and Instagram
What are the implications of this? We have an entire generation of people who are ironically worse at understanding technology than boomers, and have been trained to be manipulated by social media to consume products instead of understand them.
What are the political implications of zoomers being terrible with technology?

Their parents don't know about any of that shit either

I don't exactly feel like many of my fellow millennials are particularly talented with or curious about tech. I'm involuntary tech support for all of my peers.

it amazes me how people cant even figure out the basics.
this one woman she double clicks on every web link. the fuck? has she not figured out yet a single click works?

File system is rather abstract. It is based on the old analog filing systems, which used flimsy (paper) and physical cardstock folders. If you weren't familiar with the physical version you won't be able to understand the digital version.
Also, why does everyone assume younger people will just 'get it' for everything? Older people had parents and extended family close, and everyone wanted to raise them into a good human being. Young generations are shuffled from a daycare to a classroom and deal all day with adults who just want them to be quiet so they can draw a paycheck. Nobody is being raised or educated, because the only people who would care are outsourcing the rearing of their child.

Almost every boomer I know can at least change the tires of their car, change their oil, and do some basic plumbing/electrical work in the house. I met very few zoomers that know how to do any of that. They might be good with their smartphone, but they can only work well within the confines of the smartphone environment they're in. As in, they know how to download an app to get what you want, but don't understand how these apps work or exactly what they do.

While true, I think millennials are the most tech literate generation. They grew up at a time when computers were becoming more powerful, but were limited enough in abstraction that you needed to read a manual or understand how it works in order to do something. They also had cars that weren't incredibly sophisticated and could be worked on with manual tools.

It's pretty fucking funny. God damn retards. Millennials are sticking helping boomers and zoomers with tech lmao

That's fucking silly, as you would have had to start from zero with the analog version anyway. This is a poor excuse for not learning how basic file systems work, digital or otherwise. We aren't asking zoomers to learn machine code here, just basic organization skills (which they lack outside of this topic anyway).
