Generation point and click is what they called Mellinials for awhile. I'd've be OK with this as long as the next generation was named generation rub and drag. At least Mellinials understand the operating system companies are going to stick them with if they have any sort of office job.

you would think that but in my experience it is not true. like when i started working my bosses were boomers who were very very easily impressed by things like pivot tables and powerpoint animations

so of course i figured that when i got old all the new hires would be even more comfortable with computers and would blow me out of the water in the same way

except it's not happening. if anything they're worse & more afraid to try new things than the boomers were

This is probably because the majority of them have reverted to viewing technology as magical black boxes, thanks to the infantile user interfaces in Macs and iPhone.

I have to interview a bunch of youngns tomorrow for a technician job. Already fired one that couldn't look up from their phone for 2 minutes straight.

We should all feel guilty about creating these worthless retches I suppose. We made a lot of money though while ruining them.

yeah I'd say if you were born in like the late 80s early 90s you are good with technology and you probably understand how it functions (or least how to admin into settings and mess with it)

my niece is good at using the tablet but there's no way she is learning the code or the workings of what is going on behind the touchscreen


saying millennials are the worst generation is retarded though we're only a function of what you have caused

Thisssss. My boomer bosses think I'm some kind of magical computer elf, which rules and is job security. I know plenty of people in my own generation who are like absolutely terrified of approaching technology outside of the marketed user scenario, though. I know a guy who does twitch streaming professionally, and depends on his mostly after-market PC to do his work. If his computer breaks down, though, he is like a lost child. He needs help with basic tasks like replacing the RAM cards or installing a new hard drive, and isn't really interested in learning how to do it himself. Tons of people my age use me as a tech support drone for issues that have me literally saying out loud, "Let me google that for you."

Anyway, the short version is that our generation has just as many people that are afraid of technology and have no intellectual curiosity as the previous one, it's just funnier because we are all glorious future people with smartphones and 24/7 social media.

FYI every generation thinks their parents hosed up and the world is going to end, it's a product of your ego trying to make your own existence significant by virtue of living through historic times. Probably Ook the caveman thought the same thing about his dad.
