> “Things like scanners and copy machines are complicated,” says Bemiller, who works as a publicist. The first time he had to copy something in the office didn’t exactly go well. “It kept coming out as a blank page, and took me a couple times to realize that I had to place the paper upside-down in the machine for it to work.”
Sounds like every experience every human has at least once with a printer or a scanner. Nothing unique for the generation.
My experience is that most people who haven't had a IT or Office job since before are relatively clueless the first weeks in their new position, and I've seen that in people from all generations, again nothing unique for "Gen Z".
- gus_massa 4y agoI agree. https://xkcd.com/1053/ https://xkcd.com/1053/ Printers are even more difficult. I have to print sometimes in paper with a nice preprinted frame, and each time I have to make a few test until I find which one of the 4 orientation is the correct one.

- flashgordon 4y agoHa hilarious. This took me back to a couple weeks ago, and again a year ago and again another year ago.. as I had to print on my home printer and load paper. I had mentally deconstruct all the printer parts to visualize how the paper would move and turn through it all. Obviously sounds a lot less clumsier than it actually was!
