    Gen alpha grew up using tablets/smartphones pretty early, while they may not have had access to a PC. Seems like a failure of the educational system. Boomers just refuse to learn new shit.

      My kid has “tech class”, where I (wrongly) assumed they would learn about computers and the internet, how they work and how to use them. Nope, they just learned how to use Microsoft Teams.

      Learning new shit gets genuinely harder as you age. With how fast technology changes, I don’t think you can really blame them for it.

      I’d like to think I’d keep up with technology in my old age, but who knows. I’m not even old and I’m already so damn jaded.
