I see this observation on HN pretty often, but I'm not sure I'm convinced. Do later generations know fewer things, or just different things?

- diffeomorphism 7y agoThat seems like the wrong question. The topic was computer literacy and knowing different, non-computer things is irrelevant and knowing stuff about Fortnite, while computer-related, is not literacy.
- alexgmcm 7y agoYeah, also while in the past Fortnite might have been replaced by Counterstrike - that allowed players to run dedicated servers, it was itself a Half Life mod etc. so there was just more opportunities to learn technical skills. Now it seems it's all about consuming services in walled gardens - no learning required, or even allowed.
