I wish those parents would just setup controls on their kids' smartphones and block social media apps for them instead of forcing everyone else to give their ID

  When I was a kid, a common refrain was adults couldn't figure out how to stop VCRs flashing 12:00. While the details changed, this rhymes with more recent research: https://www.oecd.org/en/publications/skills-matter_1f029d8f-en/full-report/adults-proficiency-in-key-information-processing-skills_005bf52e.html#title-9874f6b78b https://www.oecd.org/en/publications/skills-matter_1f029d8f-... Would be nice if everyone was competent at everything, but we have to specialise, and that means a lot of people simply don't have time to re-learn how to do that every time Apple, Google, and Microsoft change their UIs. Same deal as https://xkcd.com/2501/ https://xkcd.com/2501/ Me, I had to turn on parental controls… to stop my parents from accidentally removing apps from the dock.
