@ncdominie @blogdiva I swear, people in their 30s are probably the youngest people who still know how to use a computer…

@ncdominie @siracusa I have an ongoing, losing battle trying to get students to understand the difference between a website and a browser.

@sahqon @Rhodium103 @schrotthaufen @ncdominie @blogdiva It's called tech paternalism. Back then they were hard to use because of their complexity, now companies profit off of keeping people in the dark about what the fuck their devices even do and how stuff works.
Those who lived with tech during the 90's and early 2000 actually got the golden period, where tech was both not too closed down yet but already rather affordable and very accessible, and the internet was still an open wild.
