At what cost, though? I thought the generations after the millennials would be more tech-literate. But after seeing Gen Zs around me at home and at work, things are just regressing.
Can't really blame them either, it was our generation that dropped the ball in making sure they were more tech literate than us. Not that I have kids but still.
The modern electronic devices are far more railroaded than it was back in the day tho.
Want to download an application? There's the App Store. No need to download random .exes from sketchy websites (and learn what a "computer virus" is the hard way)
Downloaded a picture? It's instantly inside your gallery. Back then we needed to find a folder called "Download" or "My Documents" using something called the Explorer!
iPhone and Android made a lot of things dumber and easier to take in, but I feel like it had a detrimental effect on digital literacy.
A little. Hands on parenting is what they need. I made sure my baby brother is tech literate when my mom is 100 percent not. He just graduated highschool this year. Sure some of the blame is on tech but kids don't know how to shit in a toilet either and parents make damn sure they learn as quickly as possible.
