Jim StormdancerOnly 5% of the US population is capable enough to "schedule a meeting room in a scheduling application, using information contained in several email messages."
Remember in the 90s, when teens were more tech savvy than adults, and everyone assumed that the savviest would just keep getting younger? Now it's 2017, and the people who were teens in the 90s are the most tech savvy generation and probably will be until they die.
Kids don't grow up with computers any more, they grow up with iPhones. If it's possible to learn to code on an iPhone, it's despite Apple's best efforts.
me0wmix@mogwai_poet that is an interesting view. I remember I had to go out of my way to learn my chops online just to interact. Forums (and of course 4chan) back then would eat you alive if you showed a hint of technical weakness. Computer illiteracy invalidated arguments, and self-doxxing was akin to a death sentance.
Nowadays taking the less-traveled path of interacting with others is considered excentric at best and antisocial at the worse. An ironic trait for socializing, no?
@mogwai_poet Admittedly I understand you were referencing utilization of more "hard" computer skills, but your musing gave me a striking tangent. It is both amazing, and incredibly disappointing to me how integral centralized services like fb/insta/snapchat have become in our lives. Would never have dreamed this when I was in highschool.
