My wife and I started talking about this after she had to help an old lady at the DMV figure out how to use her iPhone to scan a QR code. We’re in our early 40s.

      So you See that a generalization of a whole generation isn’t accurate. And then you do another generalization on a whole generation that’s wildly inaccurate.

      You say YouTube generation I say they’re just learning how to be good capitalist. Do something easy and get quick results? You just described how everything is done these days. It’s not them, it’s us. They’re learning it from us.

      There are tons of gen z who are amazing with computers! I’d say I’m pretty good compared to the average. But to be honest, I think every generation has a high percentage not good with computers. Everyone is specialized in something

      God yeah. The teens I talk to at work are the worst at being patient. Most of them spam the chat. If I don’t respond in half a minute it’s “hellooooo hello?? Heloo? Omg wtf r u there” not even exaggerating. They will wait for nothing.

      I would be this Ipad generation, but came from the other side. I started “programming” with logic gates on some sort off app. This lead to me, disliking floats and mostly only using unsigned 8 bit intager and still feeling they are to big. Another problem of mine is that object oriented programming feels so abstract.
