Android is known as cheap or nerdy.
Kids these days can't possibly be associated with something cheap. They are all influencers or rappers who haven't made it quite yet of course.
And most of the kids 25 and younger are even more tech stupid than the boomers I know. They have zero tech understanding. They just use iPads and iPhones. What's a computer?
Yeah, of course they only want Apple products.
I mean this in the NICEST way possible, your only point in this comment is "kids these days"???? That's your reason????????
edit: spelling
I know a fair number of them, and am only 32. I'm not exactly a boomer yelling at the clouds. This is lived experience from my teenage son and his friends along with my experience in the IT field and dealing with Gen X end users on a regular basis. They are literally more clueless on tech than the boomers are. Its incredible.
They can use the fuck out of an iPhone tho.
This is also a dynamic in the gaming sector. Kids not only don't know what a keyboard is, they increasingly don't know what a gamepad is, because they grew up with touchscreens. The facility that you have with any of the latter is about as relevant as a Gen Xer that is a master at an Atari joystick or a pinball machine.
