They're the ones who are dying. Gen Z grew up on the cloud
- owebmaster 24d ago> Gen Z grew up on the cloud That's why many are tech illiterates and don't know what folders and files are.
- tancop 24d agoI would say that's a rich country and gen alpha thing. People who had to download games from a pirate site on the family computer know what a folder is.
- customguy 24d agoWhat does "the cloud" have to do with anything in this context? That is so utterly orthogonal to how good a UI/UX is.
- amoss 24d agoCloud services expose their UI/UX through a web-browser will all of the pain points of running a stateful blob of javascript on the client, talking through a mostly stateless protocol to a "mess of stuff" that aims for eventual consistency in the backend. The old folks, who are retired and dying according to this thread, mostly grew up using local applications with direct control between UI/UX and action.
- oblio 24d agoUmmm... GenZ have mostly grown with mobile apps, which are generally not JS.
- agsgf 24d agoAnd they hate the Internet more than Gen-X.
- j2kun 24d agoThey're also the ones making up all the MAUs of Facebook. /shrug
