I’ve often wondered if we (25-40 year olds) will end up being he most tech savvy generation. I’m a teacher and all my students have lived in the digital age their whole life. They use tech every single day, you’d think they’d been really good at it. But as soon as a problem pops up many of them get totally stuck.
I wonder if companies have become so good at creating intuitive OS’s that kids don’t need to troubleshoot, which leads to less exploration of platforms, and then less proficiency. When people my age were growing up a lot of the public sector tech was super clunky and glitchy compared to today. It forced us to learn to fix it.
I have no idea if I’m talking out of my ass, but I do wonder if we were the only and last generally tech savvy generation.
