Zoomers & Boomers are the same - Lemmy.ca

screenshot, probably from Ex-Twitter but I saw it on NOSTR, showing a guy saying that training a zoomer to use a PC at work is as difficult as training a boomer, with a reply indicating that there is only one generation that can rotate a PDF and that knowledge dies with us [https://lemmy.ca/pictrs/image/b0399309-b7a3-433d-8de2-c7599ec36f10.png]

An unfortunate consequence of developers playing to the lowest common denominator of users for the last twenty years. Everything has been designed to be as easy and intuitive as possible for mobile, and troubleshooting skills have suffered as a result.

Not to mention that phones are crazy powerful and can do virtually everything these days, so fewer and fewer people are buying PCs. If the general population is indeed “going backwards” in regards to tech literacy, it seems like demand for IT services is going to spike in the coming years. Good thing to keep in mind for young people choosing a career path!

i think its more complex than this.

people wont know what to do/wont bother if a simple google search doesnt inmediatly has what they want in the first lonk.
