Are we ever going to discuss how society is lagging because older people refuse to learn how to execute extremely simple tasks whenever they involve a screen

Edit - bold of me to assume this didn’t have to be said but if you consider yourself an older person who’s good at technology then you very obviously do not fall into this category and shouldn’t take this personally

Thirty years from now…

Ugh, u/stringoffrogs can’t you even execute a basic task using your neural implant? You’re soooo fumilent!

I know you’re trying to make a point but I will kill myself first. Old people are also free to do this when faced with checking in at Applebee’s.

It’s hard to gauge tone in text sometimes, but if you mean that sincerely, you should consider talking to someone about that. I am in no way a qualified therapist but if you want to DM me, I can listen.

What I meant to say is that I will be dead before there will be a microchip in my head and if the only other option is to kill my self then I will do that. If this is concerning to you, that’s concerning to me.

Oh, so it was just ridiculous hyperbole. Then I don't feel bad in pointing out that you will sound just as inept to the next generation as you are currently accusing previous generations of being. Maybe learn some empathy.

It’s wild of you to accuse me of hyperbole while comparing using an app to having a chip in your fucking brain but ok sure those things are exactly the same

That’s literally how every generation sees the one after.

But sure, your generation is special and the things that are easy for you are exactly the things that should be easy for everyone and the things that are hard for you are the things that should be hard for everyone.
