When did Millennials get Boomer Brain anyway? If you took Boomers at their word thirty years ago, nobody under the age of 70 would know how to fix a car today .
Now these "Young people don't understand technology" memes are spreading like a nasty STD. Just endless posts of the most heinous ignorant horseshit.
Meanwhile, I've got kids flying homemade drones down at the park. I've got to fight through gaggles of teenagers on the way to robotics competitions and hack a thons when I'm downtown for lunch. My local Microprose is stuffed full of people under 30. All the active Linux geeks are practically in diapers, while millennials cling to Microsoft and fucking Apple.
But nobody is using the shitty VR that Zuckerberg is shilling, so Zoomers can't code? FFS, it's GenX that's forcing AI down all our throats.
Don't give me that "young people can't use computers" shit.
Simplification of UI. Or abstraction of the system via apps.
I work for a MSP and we genuinely had a junior tech not know how to use file explorer. I get they are junior and don't know Active Directory or group policies but not knowing explorer sould make them unhireable as a tech worker.
Microsoft's done an infuriating job of hiding it to the point where you increasingly need 3rd party tools to manage your desktop.
But the solution is for GenX/Millennial managers to get their enterprise applications off Windows and onto Linux. Not to just get mad at the least sophisticated entry level staffer and blame an entire generation for not growing up on DOS.
The dude didn't know how to get the size of a folder or get the file count in a directory.
So sit him down and teach him.
Should take five minutes.
