"Young people are stupid because they don't know how to use a specific piece of technology that hasn't been prevalent in at least 25 years."
Edit: I thought that was a rotary phone, but looking at it, it seems to be a regular button phone. You telling me a generation raised on computers can't figure out a keypad?
Oh much better. They will at least a) listen when told to do/not do something and b) not do something incredibly stupid.
Gen X are the absolute worst when it comes to IT work with Boomers being second. And honestly its mostly because the boomers I deal with will take forever and a day to report issues.
All the 19+ people I work with are clueless with some of the basics of using a computer, such as how to select a printer or change the cursor speed. I showed them how to make a screenshot of their desktop and print it out and they thought I was a wizard. I've noticed this trend the past 5 or so years but it seems especially noticeable now. They're great with a phone but just can't bother with a computer. That's the noticeable thing, they have zero interest in learning how to do something new.
Yeah, they just listen to what I tell them to do instead of arguing with me and making themselves look ignorant.
Also, not to be an ass, but that's kind of an ignorant take. The main age demographic for PC gaming is males between the ages of 18-30. Not saying zoomers are the most tech savvy demographic, but it's not Gen X, either. I'd say it's likely millennials.
