Was there anything more disastrous than the idea that tech literacy would just keep improving forever because kids were becoming "digital natives?" Instead Gen Z have no idea how to use computers for actual work, kids only use phones and tablets which tell you nothing about how computers work. The interns at the engineering company I work for are worse than boomers are at doing anything more complicated than opening a pdf. The entire concept of a digital native doesn't even make sense, most Gen Xers and Millennials who are good at computers learned about them later in life, at most they had a family computer that they tinkered around with as kids. That's completely different than 2 year olds scrolling on an iPad all day.

I only recently started to actually bother to learn about programming despite being around computers forever. Anyway, what's a computer?

This is effectively what they have done with social media and phone apps, and they're doing it again with AI.
>>107118548Steve Jobs ruined everything. The iPhone and iPad have had an overwhelmingly negative impact on American society, plus the idea of everything being "apps" instead of programs or websites. All of the old forums are disappearing and have been replaced by one size fits all social media apps.
>>107118604Most of Steve Jobs's accomplishments happened in the 1980s-90s and he was instrumental in bringing personal computers and graphical user interfaces to the mainstream. The iPhone only existed for like the last 3 years of his life.
It turns out the gen X did an even sloppier work at education and priorities than boomers.Imagine my surprise.
