I had to teach my parents how to use basic office equipment like printers. Meanwhile my nephew knows everything about mobile but never learned to type on an actual keyboard.
Kinda blessed to be born when I was. I have seen GenZ try to call us digital nomads but I’ll take this any day. Sad to see how kids are growing up today with no concept of privacy or living offline.
- mikebelanger 3y agoI'm in that early millenial/xennials bracket too, and my observations/sentiment of the younger generation are similar to yours. It's funny too, because there's lots of otherwise ingenious, intelligent GenZ out there, but they have a hard time understanding the idea of keeping their data private, even for just some of the time. I'm not sure if its because their experience with computers has been largely through web apps and mobile apps, or if it's more of a nihilistic, everyone-is-tracking-me-anyways-so-why-even-try attitude. To some degree, I don't blame them if it's the latter.
