TBF Zoomers and Alphas look to be inheriting that tech illiteracy
To me it seems that the most effective regulations are to ban the use of black box algorithms in content presentation, create a tiered list of required security standards to be licensed to handle different kinds of sensitive information, nationalize the telecom lines and force all them to share those lines and compete equally in all markets except if they're a municipal telecom, require social networks to federate via a unified social networking protocol to break the monopoly of "it's where my friends are", require multi factor authentication to prevent mass botting, and to require services above a certain number of active users to provide an ad-free version for an equal value to the average advertising profit per user.
Also data agnostic advertising
There is an entire generation of manosphere-style alphas on the way? can't we skip alpha and go from genZ to genB or generation beta?
All hail President Rogan.
And Vice President Bob Lazar.
I've been thinking, what if votes were weighted by age? Young and old votes get weighted less
Who decides the weight of each age's vote?
The old already in power of course
The sad part is I disagree with most of what you just said. I guess part of the issue is no one can agree on things.
IMO most laws should be at the level of goals, and the agencies implementing them should get down and dirty with how that should be achieved. So the upthread comment would be appropriate for whatever agency is tasked with implementing a last stating "social networks may not cause user lock in".
It’s because GenZ/Alpha has grown up in a world where technology just works. They’ve never had to troubleshoot drivers, or reinstall their OS after improperly shutting their computer down. Plus 90% of their tech use is on mobile, which is constantly in the annual update cycle and constantly backed up to the cloud. So if the tech ever stops working, they can just replace it with the newest model, sync their new phone to the cloud, and it’s as if they never had any issues.
And this isn’t a bad thing. But it means that they’ve never had to develop those troubleshooting skills.
The main problem is I think the younger zoomers and the gen alpha were all brought up on touchscreens and smartphones. I am not saying the older gen zvis that much better but I do know that when I was growing up smartphones started becoming more prevalent when I was in my teens so at least me and my peers I believe are much better on the tech literacy.
Really they should have made a bigger effort to make touch screen controls more 1 to 1 with mouse and keyboard controls
How do you envision that? I don't thibk I completely understand what you mean, how can they be 1 to 1?
Say an action which acts as a double click or right click, making software more directly compatible from phone to computer, nixing the app model in favor of more traditional .exe programs, more traditional directory access, command line interface access, make it a traditional computer in your pocket basically
There's this too: https://youtu.be/z-Gi5mEFSq8?si=HuvQfd49XjqhmulK
1 hr presentation on why mass screening (eg EU's anti-CSAM "chat control") can never work unless there is a way to know the real answer, which there nearly never is
Idk about that last one, but this seems like an ok approach otherwise.
