this is just embarassing. gen z/alpha literally dont know what websites are. they only know how to be corralled into a few big tech owned apps.
It's baffling how a generation that was using a phone practically since they were born somehow are completely tech illiterate.At least boomers has the excuse they were 40 when the technology became popular.
>>543070682It's not baffling, Phone apps are designed to be intuitive to use. Kids don't learn to tinker because they've never had to.
>>543070682That's the reason. Phones abstract away the complexity, so there's no need to understand it.
>>543070762While not baffling it is somewhat concerning that most of the new generation will not have any understanding, even at a high level, of basic principles of technology, which I suppose may be the objective to mold the perfect goy cattle human battery
>>543070682>bafflingNot really>ye olden times>kids have no computers so majority of adults are idiots at computers>golden times>kids raised on PCs know how to open a fucking file.>modern times>kids raised on mobile phones. Know how to tiktok and give all their lunch money to whores.
>>543070682>why can't my crossbowmen use longbows effectively, it's baffling
>>543070682true>>543070931>>543071173>>543070925>>543070762annoying contrarian midwit retards
>>543070578This is obviously a joke. You can tell because someone who hasn't used browsers are wouldn't know about "websites", and they almost certainly wouldn't use jargon referring to "visiting" them. You download, install, and open apps.
>>543071796>Jokes have no basis in reality ever, I don't understand why jokes are funny, I just like to leave retarded comments everywhere and annoy everybody cos i'm a spoiled retardNamefags. Not even once.
>>543070931The boomer equivalent of computers were cars.A teenage boom would fix up an old banger on their driveway.Do you even know what's happening under the hood of a new car now?
>>543071947>he thinks Sage is a namefagHoly kek, election tourist. There, I made it easier for you. And I'm not denying the newer generations are becoming increasingly tech-inept, but OP presented it as if the exchange was a sincere exchange, rather than something that could be argued to reflect current trends.
>>543072186I repeat: Namefags: Not even once. Now get out of here before someone dies of second hand embarassment
>>543071173more like why can't my crossbowmen use daggers when attackedretard
>>543071173More like they don't understand even the basic concept of a projectile weapon. They just know to point and shoot.
>>543070578I cant even remember the last time i typed an adress into the adress bar, other than google.com, i just type shit on google search.
>>543070682Its really not, I deal with this shit on a daily basis, it seems that just because a smartphone has become the essential piece of equipment that literally everyone on the planet has on them, 95% of people have absolutely no interest in it beyond it doing the current task at hand and will only obtain just enough information on how to take that task to completion and stop there with their self-education.
>>543072914Who's gonna tell the memeflag that you can search directly in the adress bar? Topkek
>>543070682A zoomer relative saw me play modded Morrowind and was baffled with how I managed to do the most basic thing like place a few mods into the game directory. Mind you I was using a mod manager for most of the mods and just needed to manually install the script extender and a few patches while the rest was done by the manager and he still couldn't understand anything about it.
>>543073373Meanwhile i broke san andreas more times than i can remember while modding it. Good times.
>>543070578the invention of Windows 11 was a disaster for the human race.I want windows 10 back or windows xp
>>543072249lurk more before posting, learn what sage is you dumb nigger
>>543073700It's retarded is what it is you mongoloid kek>MUH SAGE
>>543070682Japan was beginning to become tech illiterate a decade or more ago. The more accessible you make tech the less the population understands it. By next Gen we will be back to only nerds having Abby understanding of how technology works.
>>543073564No MSDOS - only people who understand computers should be allowed to use them.
>>543071796They could still know the word website because that’s what they are called, I’m assuming that they meant having shortcuts to all the websites the way their phone has shortcuts to all their apps. It speaks more to their limited conception of what the internet is to just a few heavily trafficked sites. What do you call app shortcuts anyway?
>>543071173Battle of Crecy showed the superiority of the longbow to the crossbow in the opening salvo dumb fucking zoomer
>>543070578apps should never happened, it shouldve been just websites, theres no reason that instagram facebook or X needs to be an app instead of mobile webiste
>>543070762Much like cars to millennials. 80 percent of Genx males could fix their own car. Only around 20% of millennial men can.
>>543074619They did that to spy on you.
>>543072186Mfker, you only need to put "sage" in the options field if you want to sage
>>543070578the perfect golem.
Remember when Microdick tried to turn your PC into a big smart phone? Turns out they didn't even need too.Hell if you've a got an OS made in the last 5 years they dont even call it Programs anymore, its Apps now.
>>543075348
>>543073763>in germany we do not sage Wow the gayest and most retarded of all european nations. The Germans.
>>543075433I have no respect for germanistans anymore , but fucking memeflaggots nagging about countries is peak faggotry and retardation
>>543073763sage is a contribution with no bumpyou're a stupid cunt though and that clearly has nothing to do with you know what sage is or how it functions on a 2ch based imageboard
>>543074904it's funny that in a thread about young people being too dumb to know how to use the internet we have young people who are too dumb to get 4chan4chan is a millennial website, consider this your daily reminder
>>543072012>Do you even know what's happening under the hood of a new car now?Yes?Except there's not much I can fucking do about it, because if an injector goes bad, it's fucked.A carby you can usually clean out and repair much easier. And don't get me started with turbocharging, way WAY fucking easier to maintain a naturally aspirated engine.
>>543070762Kids these days never figured out how to get rid of a virus from lime wire trying to find porn before their parents woke up baka
>>543070578>this is just embarassing. gen z/alpha literally dont know what websites are. they only know how to be corralled into a few big tech owned apps.This is because most own fuckin phones not desktop PCs or laptops
>>543070762*apps are designed to be unintuitive
>>543070578I think this is just an american/nigga culture thing, or just a twitter/pol meme.
>>543071623>annoying contrarian midwit retardsWelcome to /pol/!
>>543070682Being able to use modern technology doesnt mean you intrinsicaly know how to use preceding technology. People born in the 90s know how to use Windows but have zero clue on how to use MSDOS or any other command line OS unless they have a personal interest on it, hell, I doubt most of the people on this thread or board know how to use MSDOS either but here you are shitposting all day long.
>>543070578Dont know how to use Save As…Can’t write 2 pages of text in cursiveCan’t read an analog clock.
>>543072012>Do you even know what's happening under the hood of a new car now?Yes, but modern car design is actively hostile to end-user servicing. Every new vehicle requires a litany of special tools, proprietary software, and some repairs are just so ass-backwards retardedly complicated that no home gamer is going to try (for example, you have to take the cab off most nu-trucks to do anything on the powertrain).The kikes in control of the industry have successfully made cars an appliance that you can't reasonably repair yourself, so you have to go to the stealership. God damnit, I hate kikes.
If alpha is being taught iPads and AI, then they are much stupider than Boomers.
>>543073763>visit a place>refuse to assimilate>call everyone else stupidYou're a worthless subhuman refugee nigger that should fuck off back to wherever you came from. Considering your flag, that's probably what you actually are.
>>543070682To be honest i barely know how to use my phone or my macbook. I spend my time googling how to do basic shit on macos. I use windows 11 at work, it s the same shit, everything is hidden and confusing, since windows 7, all the OS are anti consumers.
>>543075493Estonian bitches never change... your OPSEC sucks EU fags
>>543077115the fact that you can type that out and I can comprehend you means that yes, our generation is radically different when it comes to understanding computers.you are saying someone is not fluent in msdos but zoomies and gen alpha don't even know what a folder or directory is.and before, we were using the modern technology for programming, but zoomies and gen alpha are not using their phones for programming, they are waiting for people like us using a desktop pc to create things for them and their phones!
>>543070682The younger Zoomers, especially those without Millienial siblings or parents, don't know how to create a folder on the desktop.They also have no idea how to find the smartphone's file directory.I had been asking myself how they listen to music without having bespoke collections on their device, until I realized that they literally dont- everything they listen to is Online-from Spotify.They don't have their favourite files on their device, they live with corporate slop and breathe forced ads.Owning nothing and being happy is already a terrifying reality for them.
>>543077682Blablabla memeflaggot blablabla opinion discarded blablabla
>>543070578My son thought that when he clicks his ballpoint pen, there's "ai" in there detecting the button press and extending the tip with some motor
>>543070682Not really. Rather that keep tech as challenging but learnable technology that kids would pick up on as they grew up they dumbed down everything so even the biggest idiot could use it so the Boomers didn't feel left out. Suffice to say growing up with idiot proof technology doesn't make you very tech literate.
>>543070578>>543070682Do zoomers even know a website domain, let alone type it out on their own without assistance?
>>543070682>It's baffling how a generation that was using a phone practically since they were born somehow are completely tech illiterate.They are tech illiterate BECAUSE they used phones.Phones and tablets are consumption devices.Everything is streamlined and focus tested for maximum engagement.
>>543077115The main problem is almost nobody uses msdos anymore but the world still runs on Windows yet the newer generation has no idea how to use it. And businesses aren't gonna appify how their stuff works because that's a massive security risk. You don't want your private business info being on an app on the main screen that anyone can just open up
>>543070578it's embarrassing that you wouldn't know how to grow food without using ai
>>543070578They should make a box you plug in to your TV that lets you watch any channel you want instead of having to subscribe to them all separately.
>>543073373>was baffledWhy wouldn't he be?You expect some rando who has no idea about how computer works to understand 'higher' concepts that are build on the basics he doesn't understand.>>543073952Retard take.Just because you feel like some epic gatekeeper when you mention MSDOS it's idiotic to expect from technology to regress to fucking stone age.If you think it's some kind of win to use jumpers on cards to determine memory ranges and interrupts used, manually wrestle with memory allocation using config.sys and using fucking cludges to go over 1MB you're a fucking idiot.
>>543070578Funny thing is most apps are just chromium. Discord and tiktok just use chromium to access websites
>>543073373>mod manager>not having a portable installation to this day
>>543070762an internet browsr is a phone app on every phone
>>543077295Im just not buying anything new. These new cars are so gay anyways. A buddy of mines actually bitches at him to "keep your eyes on the road" when he checks his blind spot ffs.I have 250k km on my toyota. It can do another 250k before I drive it to the dump.Then ill buy another beater toyota and repeat.
