The current generation of youngsters seem to be really good at tapping things quickly to get what they want on a phone, but if anything they are less technically literate than previous generations.
My niece dropped a programming adjacent class in college because they required them to use real computers "like with keyboards for old people" and she didn't want to learn how to do that.
They're also really good at optimizing for likes on insta, I would argue that is not technical literacy either.
- slumberlust 8y agoAnecdotal, but I've experienced this with my brother who's 15 years apart. Has a phone and can use it, but even when interested in something like emulators, considers using an SD card and selecting some options too difficult.
