@coolboymew@shitposter.club ok seriously how does the generation that “grew up with technology” come to be even less competent than gramma using Google
Bro, when I was 13 years old: >I learned how websites hosting worked on a basic level with an extremely easy free 5mb "host your own site" thing >I learned how to edit URL >Some websites wouldn't let you right click to steal shit, learned how to bypass that >With PHP, it became harder. I learned to go into the source code to find the picture >Used Windows disc repair mode to repair shit
etc, etc, etc
Here's the thing with a tablet: >Can't do this? Well fuck you, you just can't >URLs? Bro you're using an App etc, etc, etc

@coolboymew This is an old issue, still existing and won't go away as long as hardware/software manufacturers continue to produce and design proprietary walled gardens.
This is a thing that I often got from old people "younger generation can use these devices better than us" they can use yes but don't understand, when I explain that to most people they don't understand themselves. It's not because a kid bring you back the apple from the supermarket you asked him that he knows how to grow an apple.
Anyway the main analogy is that most zoomers can find the cursor on their screens, if they use a pc, otherwise most can't even understand file hierarchy.
@romin@coolboymew A few months ago I discussed with the only childhood friend I have and he works in a german thinktank for ecological subject, he's on geopolitical stuff, but anyway, my argument was "Do you think it's more ecological to have a inert optical disc that lasts 1000 years or an heat generating electric sucking undersea 24/7 datacenter?" He started to rant that "but people won't organise their files and they'll use more optical disc" :akkolul: I reminded him of how most people don't save nor organise their data, which results in duplicate data anyway.
Plus I also noted that archaeologist in the future will have a great blank space of history concerning the population of our era considering how extremely fragile our current data conservation is.
