here's a hot take millennials as a group are not "good with technology" any more than any other demographic. they just spend way more time on instagram and facebook, and the olds perceive anything on a computer as everything to do with computers, so therefore braden who's always on that computer of his must be some kind of computer genius and let's sign him up for computer science!!!! nerds are nerds and scrubs are scrubs, and building a pc is still well in the nerd range

like, ffs, i got students who are even more millennial than i am who don't understand the difference between disk formats and can't understand why their mac hard drive doesn't work on their friend's windows computer. who i am helping out and they load up a browser and it's full of toolbar garbage. ones who accidentally download a file to [anywhere not the downloads folder] and then are incapable of locating it on the file system. being a computer toucher is an acquired skill

duTrieux. posted:please replace 'millennials' with literally any broad demographic group and see what happens! well yeah, that was my original point. there are some kinds of knowledge that seem really obvious to certain subcultures but are totally foreign to most of society. i bet at least a third of the people on the road couldn't point out their car's oil dipstick if it wasn't painted yellow

also maine is loving poor and our major industries are either dead or dying i had to fix the computer interface for the boiler control system at a biofuel plant over the summer that isn't being used anymore because the state is hosed and needs new industries before it just slips away into nothing more than a place for rich fucks to own vacation homes
