There’s a high possibility that AI will have exactly the opposite effect on work productivity for young people, at least for this generation, because technology in companies around the world lags years or even decades behind for simple economic reasons.
In a similar way, the overuse of simplified touchscreen-based devices makes them unprepared for working with computers and other “old tech” permeating the modern office. Many of them do not even know what files are, and their tech skills make them almost completely unhireable.
- eru 2y agoI suspect the average tech skill is about the same as in earlier generations. It's just that for older folks amount of time spent with computing devices was a decent proxy for tech skills. That correlation has probably broken down.
- amonith 2y agoI'm not sure about the average but I have 0 data. We will see in the future because the generation currently entering the workforce still used computers a bit due to tablets and phones not being that powerful. It's all about peeps currently in school. You need to spend time with computers to learn how to use them so if average PC usage drops I'd expect the average skill to drop as well.
