but also have you met boomers? Tech literacy as we knew never existed.

Born too late to be blissfully unaware about technology

Born too early to be blissfully unaware about technology

Born in just the right time to have the cursed knowledge on how all of the cobbled together tech stack out there barely works

Every time I use an ATM I get the mental image of a 70 year old COBOL programmer desperately trying to patch holes in a sinking ship with a roll of duct tape.

Me too, except any time I have to deal with the US banking system. Ever used ACH? What a wreck.

It's a fucking nightmare, but I have heard rumors that it is in the process of being replaced with a new nightmare.

Boomers were the generation that invented a lot of this tech. Most of them weren't literate, but I have known quite a few who were. Honestly same with Gen x, we grew up with it but, a lot of the good tech didn't come until later in our lives. There are tons of illiterate gen xers and millennials and gen y and z. Some people care and some people don't.

Laugh it up now. When we’re 50, our holoshere is going to require us to submit to genetic modifications to get our next soylent nutrition paste to dispense. God only knows how we connect to a person young enough in 2040 to know if it’s even possible to bypass. That kind of stuff was laughed at the last time we tried.
